First; Thanks Pete, Second that is a nice looking radio lostinthe70eees

Third; MrHoney, what is with the hatred. I mean there is a lot that could be said about mp3, but it is personal choice to use or not. If you like compressed, flatten dynamic range then by all means listen to it. I personal like the old analog LP with uncompressed,full dynamic range. I have Quad and stereo reel to reels, Quad and stereo 8 tracks and stereo cass. I have enjoyed all for many years. Yes they do have problems and limitations just like anything else, but to come out and condemn the old tech with "F" this and they suck. I mean you are entitled to your opinion, that is what so great about this country, but some like me still like to use the old gear. Whether for sound, nostalgia or just for fun!
I personal would like to hear how you came to the conclusion you did!
Heck if we though old tech was garbage then why do most of us drive and fix up old vans and cars. They aren't like new ones yet we drive, build, and, enjoy them even with all their faults!!!

I have been called many things before but not that.

Sounds cool though!!!!
I am just your average guy trying to keep the 70's vannin' craze a live and as authentic as possible.

By the way Joe your van is looking top notch. The Street van emblems look great, fits with the color scheme perfectly!!!!!!!

In my opinion the 8 track player looks better than the tape deck.

Just got back from Best buy, picked up a new Kenwood for $119.00 KDC-352U. My Clarion is four years old and I like the look of this one way better and it's 50 watts and I can change colors on it. I think the 8 track which should be here today will go to another project?? That or cut the holds above the area that would be for air if I had it and have it there for showing. So I'd have new and old, that or just resell it to someone looking for a vintage 8 track player. [Linked Image]
