Identifying Blaupunkt Radios by Series
Designation

Q:How do I Identify my
Blaupunkt radio?
A: Blaupunkt radios were
manufactured with a series designation and a serial number. The
easiest way to tell the approximate age of a Blaupunkt radio
is by the series designation, as:
K 1956-1957
S 1957-1958
G 1958-1959
Q 1959-1960
D 1960-1961
E 1961-1962
T 1962-1963
U 1963-1964
V 1964-1965
W 1965-1966
This letter designation
is usually found on a "paper" tag/label affixed to
the side of the radio. The letter usually is in front of the
serial number. It appears from the information I have, that the
first part transistor Blaupunkt radios were introduced in 1958-59,
with the Koln TR US. This radio would have been mostly tubes,
with one or two transistors. In 1959-1960 the Frankfurt TR US
appeared, and the conversion to all transistor was completed
sometime around 1965. Just a tidbit from an accumulation of information
that I have gathered together about Blaupunkt and Becker radios.
