But very similiar in specs and features. Attached is a quick and dirty pic of the front.

I'm in a rush, but I'll get more pix tonight.

Very nice! Yours is the first Blaupunkt Sultan receiver I've seen, and I've been messing around with electronics most of my life. The front panel looks very good, all lit up like yours is, but I wonder about that stain on the speaker grille cloth. Is that simply dirt, or, Heaven forbid, was there a fire inside the set at one time?
Just curious.

BTW, how is your radio reception where you are? Do you get many U. S. broadcast or FM stations, or is it mostly confined to Bermuda? How about TV? Do you get any of our U. S. networks there, on cable or otherwise? I know you guys have at least two VHF TV stations, one a CBS affiliate, the other NBC, but I'm curious if you get American cable networks like CNN, ESPN, etc. as well (in addition to ABC, The WB, UPN or PBS). Canadian cable television is banned from carrying American TV stations; was wondering if Bermuda's cable systems, if any, are like that too.


Kind regards,
