Found this one which was stored since then, came with the receipt, all paperwork and remote w/ the original batteries in it (still works!). This thing looks like brand new, and any fingerprints on it are mine. I am sure 99% of the people on here will think I am nuts for getting this but I really like older audio gear and as corny as it sounds, they don't make them like this anymore. Any smaller systems today look like something that would be used to launch a space ship. This one is normal, and sounds great. Has bandpass subwoofers built into the speaker boxes and they are bi-amp'd. Anyways...
WOW! It has Auto Reverse and a digital equalizer !!!!!

Did you put in an old Boyz 2 Men album to test it out?


... seriously though, I like that system.

Dude - it has DUAL Auto Reverse with Dolby B + C!!!! The EQ is nutty, it learns/saves curves for each input and will even track volume and such (eg, for radio I usually only listen to NPR so the curve is set to optimize speech).

I dusted off some Def Leppard for this bad boy. But seriously both my wife and I have some old tapes from daaaaays ago and a lot of it we can't find (she's into Swedish "dark metal" and some other random stuff) so the tape decks are pretty cool. Except for the whole rewinding thing - I had forgotten how much that sucks!

I pulled apart the speaker cabs today and cleaned/dusted/tightened everything. I think I need to stick some polyfill in the ported side of the bandpass subwoofers because there is a lot of air noise at higher volume through the weird "labyrinth" port thingus.

Too cool. You don't see stuff like that being used anymore. I always ended up with the cheapo $50 fleamarket stereos with like 10 watts and analog everything. Guess it's hard for a 12 year old to complain about his free ghetto blaster.

Dude, you're a friggin BALLER. Every time I see you post you're like "Yeah, I just bough 11 wii's with 57 games.."

The i-touch was interesting for me at first and now I dont use it at all. I have the first gen and I only used it for wifi.

What are the specs on your AR's? Are those the bastardized CA versions, or are they preban?
