Since I have almost all the parts I need to finally set up a decent
stereo in my 89 90Q (speakers, amplifier, door pockets, 'new'
interior...) I guess it is time to find a head unit I like.

I figure many of you have gone through a similar search so I might save
time by asking for results before I look.

Here is what I want:

A CD player (& changer controller) or cassette player w/changer
controller with

- orange/red illumination (that narrows the field!)

- front and rear line outputs; sub not necessary but harmless if it does
not affect the mains.

- I prefer not to have built in amplifiers, they waste money and make
too much heat

- a nice, simple ergonomic design (I'm getting too old to learn all
those buttons!)

- I would prefer to spend under $500 or so, incuding a CD changer, if at
all possible

- DVD/MP3/Windoze compatibility not necessary, see age comment above.
I've been driving around with the same Duke Ellington CD in my current
player for about 8 months now...

So if any of you folks with your finger on the pulse of the market know
of a unit that would make me happy, please let me know.

Thanks!

PS it should also (!) sound good.
