A couple of questions.

[Taily]

CD players were 90's. I bought the top of the range pioneer tape deck in 94 for about $400. I couldn't afford the cd player, it was around $800!! A flash tape player had auto search function to Fast Forward to the next track. There was also AM stereo for a very short while in the late 80's. I have spent many days at a time listening to AM radio in tractors. I hope to never listen to AM ever again.We had no FM stations in the central west at all until 1991. That was the local ABC in Dubbo. Then we got Triple J in 1997. Wow wasn't that a revolution!!!!

Actually, thinking back you might be right. I do remember the unit I spoke of being a Pioneer one, but now starting to recall it being a tape player out of an XF. Memory a bit hazy about then (18-20 y.o) as I do believe I was into rather excessive amounts of grog etc at about that time before waking-up to myself...
