Max,
You have the plate installed wrong. The waffle side goes towards the dash.

Re: 1959 Becker Europa (Tube) Radio Trim question
Joris has it right the waffle or textured side gets painted and also faces the dash when installed. I was wrong in assuming the textured side faced out.
Now with that understood does the clear Becker faceplate from Oldtimer Radio have a waffle pattern on it?

Re: 1959 Becker Europa (Tube) Radio Trim question
Any opinions as to which of the two would be installed in a factory installation in an 1960 B with a July completion date?

Re: 1959 Becker Europa (Tube) Radio Trim question
Does anyone know where i can get a faceplate? oldtimerradio does not sell the waffle textured plate anymore, and koenigs-klassik-radios version is not correct.
Thanks,
Ben

Re: 1959 Becker Europa (Tube) Radio Trim question
Does anyone have an idea of which version of the plate should be installed in a 1960 356B (Kardex date 7/1960) with factory installed Europa? silver?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Eric,
I think it was the non-textured Chrome/Silver faceplate... hopefully, others can confirm this.... (now... please give me back my thread)

Re: 1959 Becker Europa (Tube) Radio Trim question
a '60 car should have the waffle face plate. Silver/chromed most likely but this is a topic for debate

The one on my 59 is clear. Not sure if it’s the original.
