Serious, serious gear.If these are typical of the units used in the stack, then it would look like some of the equipment we had in the electronics research laboratory where I worked:
Unstoppable old skool power.... Soviet undertones to some of the kit too.

Sorry! Might have been my fault? Inevitable to get a few 'me-too' sidetracks.
Great to see Cassettes still fully used! (AS seen in Lexus LS400 cars!)
We await your next addition.

Sorry Charles I can delete it all if you want. People go off on tangent on my thread too, it sort of goes with the territory.

No worries. I'm not blaming anyone. And also, cassette decks in the LS430 as well (mine came with one) behind a wooden door in the dash under the head unit.

Again, no worries, but deleting would ultimately be up to you. Maybe move them to a new or different thread?
