Dick, was the "stereo" function independent too between the radio and the 8-track? I.e, you could have ordered the monophonic radio but still have stereo sound in your 8-track tape deck? Did the 8-track come with the 5 speaker setup of the multiplex or could you have the 8-track with only the front speakers? (the door mounted and/or dash speaker). > Sorry to be late with this, and if others have covered it, I apologize - > I've been away for about 10 days. Dick, that's no excuse. You should ask permission from the IML group before you go away! D^2
