Yeah they were money back in the day. It came out the same year Sony introduced the multi CD changer for car (who remembers what it was called )so it never really was popular.

Did you get the 1/2 DIN controller with it too? It's more of a curio piece now.

As cool as it is to have something like that, it's useless to virtually everyone. No one really uses tapes anymore, and even unused the heads are probably oxidized to hell from sitting so long. I think you'd be lucky to get much more than 50 bucks for it unless you ran into the perfect buyer.

^ Hey, good one! The DiscJockey.

Yeah I've followed a couple of 7375s on ebay, from rough to mint. The mint ones fetch around $100 and anything less gets pretty much nothing.

I have a minor interest in it as a curio piece for the Hearse but I won't pay much for it.

i still have about 2000+ tapes with 70s, 80s and 90s club, top40s, r&r music and some audiophile recordings from very high-end turntables. that it'll take forever to get transfer into the digital format. I would definitely be consider buying one. $50 sounds good......... seriously if the price is reasonable, i'm interested. just need a controller to go with it.. maybe the 7909 will work.
