Blaupunkt Vintage Radio Basic Hook Up Questions

[Steve Semeraro]

A recently purchased a Blaupunkt Frankford No. 7630 640 000 that has been refurbished, but did not come with wiring instructions. I have a few basic questions that I hope others can help me with.

There are two wires extending out of the back.

A thick grey wire with a large plug that I assume is for the antenna.
A thinner yellow wire. Is this the ground?

There is also a metal tab with a hole in it and a - sign on the top and a plus sign on the bottom. A sticker on the top indicates that this controls polarity and that when the - sign is facing up it reads "12 volt - battery" with a symbol consisting of a horizontal line and 3 vertical lines at the of lessening length. I assume this means negative ground when the - sign faces up?

Then there is a little speaker icon next to a hole with a plastic rim. I'm wondering how the speaker hooks up?

Thanks.

Yes. Thank you Peter. I just got them and the fit very nicely into the radio. I still haven't tried to install it into the car, but I will keep everyone posted on my progress and post a picture when it's done. Thanks again.
