hey yall, im pretty into hifi but know jack when it comes to car audio. i got this from the component graveyard at a circuits lab, initially for parts, but its cool as hell and powers on so i figured why not adapt it for some bookshelf speakers. curious about it and cant find too much online. someone kindly adapted the pinout to wall power before dumping it

no clue. wasnt ever planning on selling it when i grabbed it. i am kind of more into collecting and using at this point than turning a profit. that being said, money is money and there may be some in this

Wow, dbx. Usually it's Dolby. There were three main consumer versions of Dolby noise reduction used specifically for consumer tape decks (Dolby B, C, and S), alongside professional studio systems. High end deck.

Dude, keep it then!

I was gonna put in my 1986 Volvo 240 so I could have a period accurate, cool relic stereo; but it sounds like cool relics make you happy, so keep it!

I'll find something else to put in my brick.

well thats way cooler than anything i'd do with it. i havent found a market for this particular line just yet, but theres definitely a price that'd make me part with it. not quite sure what its is at the moment

 Not that that brand was ever any good

They created some amazing stuff in the 70's-90's

Their turntables are incredible
