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!
