Very expensive 26" rca home entertainment center on let's make a deal

[mgross0]

I have one of these systems from 1984 or so (tuner, amp, CD, cassette and speakers). It's a great system, but the first gen was really designed to work in tandem with the television. The TV had a computer board in it that tied to the components through the "control" port. Then if you pressed "cassette record" on the remote, the TV would turn, and then it would power up the amp and cassette recorder automatically and begin recording (if a blank cassette was loaded, of coarse). I don't use it anymore, and nobody seems to want it because it has the stink of late 90's RCA branded garbage. I think that this and the Sharp Optonica are two of my favorite systems.
