It is indeed very cool.
Saw a full page advert for it in C&SC a while back and headed over to the site for a look.
It just goes to prove that a modern piece of equipment can look very similar to the original, without being some sort of retro caricature.
It is expensive though. ;D

I've seen that in Classic and Sportscar on one of the rare occasions that I've said "curse word the overdraft" and bought a copy. When I get my Merc 300SEL 6.3 my second purchase (after some big curse word-off BBS rims to curse word off the purists) will be one of those.

I wish my car had a Becker Mexico.
...so I could sell it on eBay for £££. Sorry, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Yeah it's a cool piece of retro audio gear but I don't think they're worth the money.

A very nice and different piece of equipment there. But as said it is alot of money to part with even if Beckers are well made sturdy units . |

I agree 100%, they are too much money. Aimed at folk that are loaded really. I had an early W116 Mercedes years ago with a Becker AM/FM pushbutton radio in it, possibly a Europa. That was a proper retro old unit. |

I'm seriously considering getting into the market of retro-modern head units; buy an old head unit where the amp works but there's possibly other faults; eg my Blaupunkt for the Scirocco (original equipment from factory) was £1 from ebay with a faulty autoreverse button. Then rip out as much as you can and wire an MP3 player into it, locate an SD card reader on the front panel and job's a gudgeon. You can buy bare MP3 players from ebay that are designed to fit inside something, so you get a little black box and a control 'joystick' on a cable for mounting in a case. Some of them can even control a mass storage device, eg wire it up to a hard drive vua USB and you've got a 160Gb music player. HDD could even fit through the slot in the front, like a big 8-track You've then got options for the display, via standard LCD types. |

the more I see that becker, the more I don't like it  sorry. if i had the cash for super flash audio, I'd be staright out getting some of this-  dual 20 bit d/a converters, yum. or hows about a new retro denon?  lots of money too, but nice in a kind of early-eighies-separates look. theres a cheaper version of this that still looks similar, with black front option. I just happened to be googling.... I also have an early pioneer brochure, and this is what you really need for ultimate retro ICE     early clarion I've seen is similar. |
