Alpine 7904

I have a beautiful classic Alpine 7904 radio here, and being a privileged millennial I can't survive without Bluetooth... So one of you lucky thirdgen enthusiasts gets to put a period correct high quality radio into your car! Pictures to come, radio has been tested and the functions all work except for the optical sensor that senses that a CD is in the radio. I could fix this, but between work and college I don't have the time right now. Display is in great shape, all the buttons still light up and the words are not faded, but the trim piece that surrounds the radio had a small crack that was repaired. Comes with the harness too. Asking $175, I can deliver locally, ship, you can pick it up, whatever works.

Here's a video of it operating, the music in the background is coming through speakers hooked up to this radio

Re: Alpine 7904

Always loved the vintage look of the green backlit Alpines. If I recall correctly that CD payer was somewhere in the $500+ range new? Lots of cash at the time. 1992 ish?
In the mid 80's a Friend had a 78 T/A with a shaft mounted alpine cassette deck. No other radio had that distinctive 6 button green look, but I do recall some other entry level mfgs trying to copy the look by the late 80's

Yep, very expensive when it was new compared to the head units they have today. I think it came out in 1990, my dad had one in his Chevelle which is really why I ended up getting one.
