Thanks for the reply, James.

I actually have an ancient (but darn nice) Blaupunkt Philadelphia tape-deck I'm using right now.

The radio I'm looking to replace was actually in my semi-truck. I bought a higher end Sony about a year ago thinking I was really in high cotton, but it promptly destroyed itself after bouncing around in the truck for that time. Sony is going to send me a replacement under warranty, but I don't want to put the thing back in.

I bought 2 Blaupunkt Miami Beach cd players from Best Buy about 6 years ago when they were on close out. One went in my wife's car and the other moved between semis until last year. I foolishly let both slip away from me when I sold the vehicles.

Anyway, If anyone would like to trade their Blaupunkt for a Sony CDX-F5710 (which Sony says will be a refurbished unit), I might consider some kind of barter.

Thanks, Klaus
