Hi Lenny,
I would advise you to mail your radio to the best, most honest, talented
radio man out there. Willie Wilkes in Brisbin, PA.
Tom Yang, the Ferrari nut (from your neck of the woods) has a nice piece on
him here -

Willy restored my Blaupunkt Radio to beautiful working condition, and he has
many others in stock ready to install in your old Ferrari or Porsche. I've
also gotten a lot of good response from others who have used his services. I
highly recommend him! Another

Tom - I just wanted to drop you a line re: Willy Wilkes and his Vintage
Radio shop in PA - your site referred me to him. The previous owner of my
1968 365GT2+2 had removed the original Blaupunkt (euro spec 4-band radio)
for a modern unit. Fortunately he saved it and had it serviced - it seems
to work very well. But sometime in the last 10 years the dash plate
disappeared. Over the last several months I have searched vintage radio
shops in Europe and US for the dash plate - no one had one - even Willy had
looked (he was the first guy I contacted) in his stash. Last week he found
one - I have no idea where he found it - and he contacted me ASAP. I held
my breath because I've been in these monopoly pricing situations for parts
for the Ferrari before . . . Willy only wanted what he paid for it - $45!!
I sent him $60 (to cover the shipping and then some). It doesn't begin to
pay for the time he spent looking for it or the time he spent helping me
figure out the radio/antenna motor wiring on that unit. Good man.
