Jon, you said,

>> I've been intrigued by this unit...Sanyo 1-DIN CD/Cassette Receiver FXCD550, A single DIN stereo receiver with both CD and Cassette built in.  I believe it is discontinued, but still seems to be stock in a few places.  It used to be carried by Crutchfield.    Buy.com shows it for around $200.

  I researched that Sanyo unit at crutchfield.com back in the day.

  As you well know, we travel a lot, so I was looking for the best
tuner for my budget, and wanted to include a tape player.  According
to Crutchfield's specs chart, theSanyo  tuner section was pretty weak,
13dbf(?).  I passed on it for a Sony AM/FM casette with a decent
tuner.  (around 8.5dbf)

  It seemed Immediately after ordered, a rep from Crutchfield called
me up to tell me that it wouldn't fit. (too long)  He was almost
right, but with a little extra effort on my part, (BFH) gettin' 'er
done was no problem.
