I have no clue what condition or anything my radio is in, The antenna wire is there and that's about it. I don't know if the other wires fell down out of reach or what goes where. Looking for somebody to help me with what wire goes where, I know the ground but what is the covered up plug etc etc.
Thanks, and let the samba wizards do their magic

Only your M plate will tell you if it's "stock", a very cool period German accessory nonetheless, very expensive in it's day.
Here's a Blaupunkt manual that should be close, the wire connections will be the same anyways: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/1968_69_blaupunkt_essen.php , you are missing the brown speaker plug, it's a flat piece of bakelite with 2 prongs that go in the holes on the back, kinda like this:

From what I was able to figure out before from some friends in Ohio, it may be a Grundig? The buttons could match to AM, FM, longwave, and music specialty function . The music button comes from a friend in Iowa explaining the markings on the 3 different buttons on the radio in his 6V bug, minus the FM. I don't recall which letter is for which though.
Here's mine:

I don't think you can buy one but it is not very difficult to make your own plug...
you need a 5 (or 6) pins DIN male socket (270°)
2 resistors 4.7Khowms
a jack3.5 chassis socket
an of course cable (I use microphone cable)
this is a drawing I've made...
it's really work fine, I make one for each of my vw , so I can connect my I-pod in every car... or just listen the radio...

You can click on the picture and it will open a new window with a larger drawing. That works on many other pictures on this site too! _________________ Learn how your vintage VW works. And why it doesn't!

I think so. I know there are several sizes of banana plugs, one might work. Do you have a vintage electronics parts place that's local? I had an issue with a 1960's tube amp cable and I found a place that had NOS connectors that look JUST like that. I imagine that the connectors are not VW-specific. Although I don't think any stock nazi's will be pulling the radio out _________________ Learn how your vintage VW works. And why it doesn't!

They aren't, common stuff for the 50's-70's, any well stocked electronics supply store should have something that fits, bring your radio and show the old guy in the back. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

The link is better, clicking on the picture opens a new tab/window with the same size image in it for some reason. _________________ Ben

hello
Sorry , but I don't know sapphires radios (for US market only)
if it has a DIN female terminal, I suppose you can
some, who know electronic well better than me, tell, that we can make a connector on any model, but you have to find on the PCB,the radio's way and the amplifier's way to insert the connector...
I am clear? _________________ "please, excuse my bad English...."
