I recently saw that and it looks like a nice setup and should install fairly easily. I can't tell you anything about that radio but I can tell you that I've had a blaupunct in my 74 for around 14 years and it's still going strong.

BTW you might want to take the cap lock off. On the internet it constitutes shouting and is sort of frowned upon. :yesnod:

Those radios sell on ebay for $79 and a bezel can be bought new for $80. The trim plate is $55 from http://www.vettespecialties.com/.

Buy the stuff yourself and save $200+.
