Thanks! I will work a bit on it's cosmetics and try to install it and see how it looks... while I find a more correct one, in case it does surface.
Did Volvo offered AM/FM radios from factory? Or was it always a dealership thing? (In which case, any period correct would do?) Thanks, Victor |

AFAIK No radios installed at factory. All came with a cover plate that said Amazon on it and later just Volvo.
The tilted or slanted bezel for the radio was used to slightly dip the rear of a radio downwards so the radio didn’t hit the windshield wiper motor/assembly. Definitely was the case in 1800’s, probably in an Amazon too. |

Even into at least the early 1970s Volvo did not factory fit radios, always a dealer option. My experience post dates the 122; but, if you purchased a Volvo supplied radio from a Volvo dealer it came with Volvo printed on it. In North America I think Volvo was using radios supplied by Bendix. Check out the 7 FBVO and 6BVO Bendix part numbers. Some had both Volvo and Bendix on the faceplate. Here is an example:
https://volvoforums.com/forum/genera...23/#post410862 If you want to be period correct for Volvo in North America I think Bendix would be the product; but, they are much uglier than your Blaupunkt. I say stick with the Blaupunkt. It looks much nicer. |

Important question. Does it work? Cheapest conversion to update it is to have an input lead that you can plug your phone into if it has a headphone socket. It will be mono but that suits the cars year.

No idea yet! I need to clean it and test it.... and yes, a cable would work wonders so i can play what I like.
Thanks! Victor |
