Also, their capacitors are second to none. Got one on a dead car-stereo amp that I'm gonna pull and use when I recap one of my old motherboards.

You would push a chrome bar under the dial and the motorized tuner needle would move as it would seek the next clear station.
I remember being amazed when I got the car that this function even existed in 1968. Listening to Radio Prague in Savannah was a bonus.

Assuming, of course, that your story of finding this beast in the junkyard is true.

GM never did offer an integrated radio/tape deck in 1968. You got the factory 8-track player mounted under the dash.
MoPar had nothing to offer other than AM-FM in 1968 but you could get a reverb in the Imperial.
So along comes 4-band coolness, something we have never done in all the years of automotive radio in the USA, from Blaupunkt. Oh well, we did stick record players in cars back in the 1950's...LOL! *bump*skip*bump*skip*

Umm...
wow?
Record players... and 8 track players.. in cars?
LOL whats a record player doing in a car?
Shit.. Im just happy to have a CD deck. Wait 5yrs and ya gonna have a MP3 port and thats it..
Along with a fancy shmancy graphics display..
Along with the ability to make coffee, blow ya and give ya directions..
Man.. when I was a kid.. we had to walk 4 mi through the snow..
LOL.
Id take the Benz, pick up the radio too, but install one of those original look-alikes, with all of the modern conveniences.

Took me over a minute to get this one. More like two minutes cause I can't last much longer than that.
