ACK! You beat me to it. I wasn't the first for that though, my buddy Corey was. He had a Sony deck in his car and could "seek" forward and backward.

I had a buddy that bought a cassette deck for his car. The security for it was to remove the entire unit, and take it with you. Not the faceplate, and not some flip around to disguise unit. But to pull on a handle and remove the entire deck and take it with you. And I thought it was the coolest thing.

Ohhhh, that's too funny. My first 3 decks were all like that, until I bought an Alpine. Even that didn't stop some punk from ripping out the whole chassy, while the faceplate was in the house with me!

I also had the Sony Diskman for Car. It ESP (electronic shock protection that read 5 seconds ahead and buffered the audio so there'd be no skipping) and cd to cassette adapter. At the time, the Car diskman was $200 bucks, a cheap CD deck was $400!

Anyone remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show? I was in second grade at the time and remember it was the big topic in school the next day (and next several years).
