![]() ![]() That is why a previous owner disconnected it. I think that I have concluded that the on/off switch in my radio is bad. The bulb is good so if this is a stereo tuning lock, that would be consistent with my impression of the sound.ģ) If I have the correct accessory connector plugged into the back, how do you switch to the accessory - e.g., the old cassette deck? I have found cables online that use this to provide an aux input, but I see now way to switch unless there is some signal sense that autoswitches if a signal is detected. So in the car, this would stay on when the ignition is on even if the radio is off.Ģ) What is the red light for? My guess is that this is to indicate a tuning/stereo lock. It is as if it cannot tune correctly.ġ) Is the green dial light supposed to stay on? Mine stays on even if I turn the radio off. I have it running on my bench now using a lab power supply and it sounds bad. I became hopeful when I saw that it has a connector on the back of it (for old separate cassette players) that I can use as an auxiliary input to plug in a phone or a bluetooth interface. I have pulled the non-operational one that was in my '71 to test it and see if it is something I can use. Looking for someone who has listened to/used a Becker Europa Stereo MU radio before. ![]() If it was built for the U.S, there will be no radio listed. If it was built for & sold first in Europe, the specs will include the factory-installed radio serial numbers, if one was ordered. By sending in your Pantera's S/n and a check, Santiago DeTomaso will mail you a factory spec sheet on your car. What U.S Panteras got were DEALER-installed stereos- whatever they had around. It's correct that NO U.S-market Panteras got factory stereos- part of that absurdly low $9995 price in the early '70s. ![]() The Europas were FACTORY-installed in Euro- sold Panteras, along with Blaupunkt and Becker- Mexico models. But the legend 'Europa' was shown horizontal, as were the designators for the preset buttons. Mid-'60s Beckers were TUBE type! One model, used in Euro Panteras with a small, removeable face, used a vertical dial. Some Beckers had AM & FM a few had three bands, adding short wave (the frequencies aren't used in the U.S.) Early Europa models were monoaural but most were stereo. There were 5, 6 or 7 preset- button models. Some of these had external amplifiers, some were internal. Becker made at least 50 different models from 1969-1979, called 'Europa' and 'Europa ll'. ![]()
