Was dealer fitted in a 1982 924.
Some council type may buy it to fit in an Escort or similar but you won't be dining out Michelin Star stylee on the proceeds
Blaupunkt/ Becker /Nackeredmidgit are all sought after by paedo types. Other brands , less so.

The fact they have lasted 20+ years and are still worth money should tell you all you need to know about the quality. Do you think in 20 years anyone is going to value your Alpine system?

Alpine 7909 One of the most valuable head units second hand. Won an award for best cd head unit ever in 2009, not bad for a 20 year old head unit at the time!
Google it!
80's ICE FTW!
Just because its old, does not mean its going to sound shit Pony.

They did indeed!
Normal ones when they do pop up for sale tend to be circa £5-600!
