Title: Opinion needed: Solitude Replica or Orignal?
Post by: fj76 on March 10, 2008, 11:14:28 AM
Hello everyone,  I would like your opinion on what would be a better buy. A Becker Solitude orignal(for Euros 1200) or a replica, which has the orignal frame from outside but modern FM technology.MP3 or CD changer can be connected to this (Euros 1000).

Since the orignal does not have FM,  i would have to buy a seperate FM radio.  I have attached pictures for the replica.

I think you give already the answer
it depends on what you want to do with the radio
do you like the music in the car or is it just a aye catcher
i had an original one in my car but found only one music Chanel but it is nice to see that it takes a few minits until it is at temperture and to hear the old sound
if it was my car i choose the replica   regards Jan

I have an original one that needs work and have been contemplating that same idea. I did not know that there was a replica for sale now. It looks great. The functionabilty is of course better but it is not the same as having a tube sound with AM reception for the vintage experience I guess...
I was thinking of adding a mini plug to feed in an Ipod or cd player with fm radio in it in the restoration of the original. Who is the maker of this unit? (Still pretty pricey I think)

Volker and Jan thanks for your opinion. Volker, Koenig, does not sell the replica as i spoke with them today. You may speak with Herrn Wagner at http://www.autoradio-wagner.de  for modified version of these radios.
Regards,  FJ
