Is it an audible speedometer, Making different noises at preset speeds?

richard fridd · November 16, 2021, 12:33:11 PM

Time zones on the dial?

sichel · November 16, 2021, 03:09:37 PM

@ D-type: Yes, it is acoustic device. No connection to speed or rpm.
@ richard fridd: No time zones, but city names and numbers.

Distance calculator?

sichel · November 16, 2021, 04:31:50 PM

Not the grandpa of our navigation systems.

sichel · November 17, 2021, 01:13:27 PM

Yes, it is!! Locked Do you have any idea when it was built? Information on the manufacturer would be interesting.

richard fridd · November 18, 2021, 03:21:56 AM

1930s? to suit an art deco fascia as a guess. Ecko?? as another guess for maker.

Yes, you have really earned the point. It is a german car-radio from the company Mende from 1935.
I add a picture of the first Blaupunkt car-radio from 1932.
