Anyone got any specs or piccys of classic Alpine headunits ?

[Howard]

As it says above, specifically a 7901 and 7906 .....

Looking to put a classic Alpine head unit of the correct era into the whale maybe ...

Have seen the above for sale , but just wondered specs, i know they won't play MP3's as they are first gen players , but they look soooooooo cool.....

Nah, well before my time! Better be careful, you're beginning to show your age...

Didn't realise exactly how old your old skool was!

It certainly is but once you've set it up properly its one of the best sounding head units. I know the menu can be fiddly but i've got seperate bass remotes so won't have to be using the head unit features too much. Also accessing it via the remote is a piece of cake!

The good thing with those old stereo's was that if someone tried to rob you , you could beat them with the stereo .......

That brings back some memories.
I looked on ebay too, but nothing came up
