1968 AM/FM Multiplex? What do I have?

I just bought a 1968 AM/FM radio with a "controller" that has volume, tone, balance, and front/rear knobs. 

I know the U79 multiplex was normally installed in the center console door. And I understand that if a car did NOT have a console, there may have been a controller that mounts under the dash.

That said, I am unsure of what I have and whether it is complete (ie are there more parts needed to use actually use it).

I have read through all related posts and am still unsure what I exactly have.

I only wanted and AM/FM but got this controller too...

Thanks,
Brent

68 multiplex for a car without a console.

I would think it was from a 67 camaro because that is a 67 emblem

Thanks gents--I had never seen anything like this...and I thought I had seen every option...it came from a 68 RS and was original to that car.

I just wanted an AM/FM, I assume the radio is nothing special that is connected to the multiplex?  I can use it without the multiplex?

You can but need the plug to replace the cable.
Learning more and more about less and less...

The bracket with Camaro name on it was used with a/c. One with out a/c used a different bracket. It show a good picture of  in the 68 assembly manual. Pretty cool item had a buddy that I worked give me a Nos one years ago.

So, the bracket is OEM? I have never seen one and thought it was an owner made bracket. But when I look at the rear, it appears to be factory..

Yes it is factory for cars with a/c. Has a good picture in the 68 Assembly manual!
