    I saw this for sale on E-BAY which looks rare but I am no expert .The only downside is the price

    I saw this too. Was wondering if anyone was going to put out just to have a different name. It is unique for sure

    I'm not sure what that red thing is Jorge but it looks pretty cool, I definitely know what that foamy stuff is!

    Here's the Mark 0A-8171 AKA Conion C-100F, years down the road someone's going to want a picture and it may be the only one.

    this is the beauty! Love it!

    Mine is Sencor S-4800, the only Swiss-something (designed at least, maybe even made) bbox from the days when I could afford collecting Swiss watches and was going nuts about everything "Swiss". Good'ol'days... :)

    The first one I've ever seen however, leave it up to me to spot that the tape run indicator is lit without a tape in or any buttons depressed. Probably needs a belt or has a lower deck issue. It also means that the stereo would need to be unplugged before it would turn off since the leaf switch that controls the deck motor and signals the tape run also keeps the box powered up.
