[DML] Re: Craig Radios..

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It will take forever for you to sell them one-by-one. Maybe your best bet is to sell all three to one of the vendors for a low price. Or you can always use E-bay! There really doesn't seem to be much of a market for them. They would only be desired by someone with an older car that wants an original radio for originality,s sake. It was a crummy radio even when new.

As I started to look online for modern flexible flat cables to replace the old one with, I started thinking....  Does anyone even use the cassette anymore?!
