Wiring up a 50's Blaupunkt Frankfurt..?
Ok I have all the stuff I need to wire up the radio, but I need to know how to earth it. I have read some stuff about negative and positive earth but
its a bit confusing. Where do you earth it too? The body or something else. I dont want to destroy it!

fuse EVERYTHING, especially old stuff. You should be earthing to the body. Use a proper connector to do it. And make sure you add a new fuse
regardless. Been learning that of late ... fuse EVERYTHING!.

robo, does it say pos earth on the back? some you can change from neg to pos to neg ...whatever you like, I got 2 that you can change either way but
some are set to pos and if you don't take it to a tech head and get it swapped over or you'll have to insulate it from the body which can be hard
and unreliable.:duh

I think I have the wiring for an old Blaupunkt for my ghia, I'll dig it out and let you know. Red and black is normal, but they actually have a
yellow wire from memory, but not sure if thats +ve or earth.
