I have a few simple questions

*On a 81 911sc*
I found some kind of box or sort, module etc?

I have no idea and it wasn't connected, just on the back of the floorboard.
Any help?
Also found a horn(?) in my smugglers box and then some container on the right side front trunk. Pics attached.
Excuse the mess, hey it's a project right?

No idea about the box but the horn looks to be connected to the cylinder via the tubing, making it an electric air horn with the cylinder being the mini air pump. Just a guess but seems reasonable. What special options or additions were on your car that might require moving the horn?

BTW, you may wish to post the year and model of your car in your name or signature line to help in answering your questions.

Are these common?

Not really. See my edited comment above your post.

I would hazard a guess that the box in pic one is a radio signal amplifier.

Not sure about the air horn? Maybe part of a alarm system. Pic 2

The blower in pic 3 in the smugglers box is for the air-conditioning.

Maybe so since the old radio is out. I also have a Clifford alarm system so you could be right about the air horn. That black tube is a blower?

The black cylinder in Pic #3 is the air compressor for the air horn. I wouldn't think an air horn would be very effective when located in the Smuggler's Box.

It says Blaupaunkt EMPFANGSTEIL (German I guess?)
also N1620653 and something about AM/FM. I think OldTree was right then.
Well if that's what all that stuff is I'm pulling all that junk out.
PO had the alarm installed or somebody did I guess and the button pad on the dash wasn't even connected. Unless this was a factory option which I highly doubt?

EMPFANGSTEIL is german for "RECEIVER"

I have a 81 no idea what the recever is but the air compressor is from a Hella air horn. The red line goes out to the horns. Yank everything out including both compressors!!

The radio/receiver unit is from a Blaupunkt Bamberg electronic radio.

We had several of these in the 70's & 80's.

The radio consisted of three components:

1. The dash mounted tuner.

2. A small programing box mounted on top of the console
used to set the pushbutton station selector.

3. The receiver/tuner section you found.

Although a nice radio (great front end), the tape transport system was a
high maintenance component.

All of ours were eventually discarded
