Dick, was the "stereo" function independent too between the radio and the
8-track? I.e, you could have ordered the monophonic radio but still have
stereo sound in your 8-track tape deck? Did the 8-track come with the 5
speaker setup of the multiplex or could you have the 8-track with only the
front speakers? (the door mounted and/or dash speaker).

Dick, that's no excuse. You should ask permission from the IML group before you
go away!
