Blaupunkt SCD08 car stereo for sale. Will go well with a classic late 80's Mercedes. Unusual in that it has CD cartridges, guessing early car CD players needed this to stop them jumping? Came with a 1988 Mercedes 300SL (R107) that I purchased and since sold a number of years ago. Pics show it...

I currently have two 160GB Classic iPods. One of them is about nine years old and lived in various vehicles so, planning ahead, I looked at the cost of a replacement and found that Apple stopped making the Classic in September 2014! There are lots on Ebay but would rather trust what a forum...
