If you didn't realize, I used vynil as a rhetorical example for when formats don't become outdated because of sound quality but other reasons instead. I.E. Vynil => The convinience of cassettes => convenience of digital audio "you don't want to lose this argument over how great your tape player...

Check out one of the many videos showing how cassettes sound. For example: And funny that you mention VHS, VHS stereo was used to record very high quality audio, with the infamous 20-20khz, 0.1% wow and flutter spec. Still analog

Maybe try growing out of that 'old is trash' dogma and you'll begin to appreciate things for what they are instead of borderline materialistic value. I wonder what your explanation for people moving away from vynil is? better sound quality hadn't been reached in formats until very recently but...

I havent been working on this for that long, I just found a bunch of parts for it that I didnt have before so I wanted to post about it, in case its a rare model for documentation purposes. as I said if you buy tapes from the ~90s which often arent overpriced and are very great quality, you wont...

I recommend getting a life rather than ranting about your problems on a car radio thread :)

screw you! and your "old means trash" tapes sound perfectly fine if you don't buy the 5 cent chinease cassette from banggood.

The closest thing I found was this low res picture of a similar model, looks like it's TRA-7363 maybe But it's still clearly not the same, and the one I have had 0 transparent buttons, only the letters on the buttons lit up, the front bezel and buttons were black.

Sorry for not responding in forever, but I garhered up all the bits I have of the radio in hope I can rebuild it, at least without the cassette player Ive yet to find the front bezel, but I have the cage for it, it mounts in a slide-in cage with the connector mounted to it, and theres a...
