My 1987 TII has one... had the price on the original window sticker for around $700 for it to be added on as an option when the original owner bought it. **** still works great and sounds awesome! *knock on wood* but no skipping issues or anything really. I have no plans to change it as of right now b/c its got tape, radio, and cd! lol. But it will only accept Sony CD-R burned cd's with no problems. Anything else it won't read. I like it and hope it works forever. lol.

I've seen good condition OEM CD players fetch ~$200 on ebay. Then again I've seen them advertised here for ~$40 with no takers, so I dunno. I've got a spare S5 vert one for when mine craps out but they are pretty cool. First triple media stereo unit I ever saw anyway...

Sometimes I have to fool mine with a regular CD before it'll accept a burned one.

Some CDs just won't play no matter how many times I shove them in, lol.

I don't use the antenna that much, so I just wired up a switch between the antenna and a ground connection. Works well enough for me, I just have to flick a switch and the antenna goes up.
