: Scroll back down in the messages to 12/8/02 and my response to Alan's A-60/A-80 Post where I explain about the A models.
Ah ok, so this series was pretty much targeted to the consumer market. I can see where you are comming from with the "black, "plasticky" and tacky looking" though personaly I rather like the style, but part of my personal choice in cosmetics is high contrast so I can actually use the controls with my glasses off. I wasn't really impressed with the matching radio / tape deck / tuner that i've found at a number of flee markets.
I'm a little big underinformed about the model numbers. Does the term, "Classiquie" apply entirely to the A model line, or to the black plastic tacky made later on. And what are the key diffrences between the diffrent models of the A line. I see on e-bay an A-701 exists but the graphic equalizer seems to be absent.
