Mid 80's, period correct radios: which one ?

[Louis_Alain_Richard at computerhorizons.com]

I found the "perfect" period correct, urQuattro radio, according to Phil
Payne:

Now, finding a working unit in North America might be difficult... :-)

BTW, there is a new Nakamichi TD1200 for sale on eBay now (item number
5791478342), 570$ and still 2 days to go...

There is a market for anything, it seems...
