A Bremen is quite a serious piece. Get it tested, pics of it powered up and ebay it. £100+ I reckon.

Yes, a working Toronto should make £100 + Be sure to put 911 /Turbo / Quattro / Ferrari etc in your ad as these were fitted in quite a few top end turds back in the day. As 911 values are soaring, lots of people are 'restoring' them back to stock and throwing all the nasty Alpine sh1te in the bin, innit :)

You basically tap into the audio feed from the tape deck and trick the head unit into thing a cassette is inserted using a spare button, thus setting the cassette deck as the audio source.

If that's the case do any of these have any value.

The blaupunkt works on radio but the cassette doesn't kick in.
Pioneer everything works except the sound but it's a pull out and it could just be a bad connection.
The other pioneer is a really top end piece from 1999 with 12 disc changer needs new button rubbers and a fascia ribbon but a hounds awesome

The pioneer is too new and worthless.

The blaupunkt speaker covers have a value, £20-30.

Basically, any decent blaupunkt, pioneer, alpine audio from the 80's is worth bucks now.

I didn't know 80s stereos were worth good money now ? Worth getting them refurbed by a specialist ?

Also "executive" "get it served" are they mechanic words or zone lingo ?

If you're playing mp3s or FM radio on a modern stereo, quality is irrelevant anyway. A stereo is only as good as its music source.
