Blaupunkt Lubeck Cassette head unit setup

Anyone fancy a crack at this lot?
 
I bought it all to go authentic in my T25, I was putting hardcore mixtapes back on cassette and stuff. It was fun and all that but I don't really have time or space for pissing about like that so I swallowed my pride and got a cheapo bluetooth stereo.
 
It's a Blaupunkt Lubeck I got off eBay a while back, "Refurbished" by which they mean they put a new belt on the tape player, but it works fine and I've put a new bulb in so the LCD works.
It has been modified to take a 3.5mm aux-in and has a USB thing for charging your phone, but it won't play music off a USB stick.
I think I paid about £70 for it. Probably a bit over the odds but it was from one of them eBay stereo seller companies who sell £900 ones for porsches etc.

You might as well have the matching speakers if you want em - all scruffy but they'd clean up nice and you could waft some matt black over the grilles to bring them up. They all sounded surprisingly good for what they were and you can double them up and run all four off two channels of the blaupunkt no problems. It was loud enough to fill a van with sound, surprisingly!

Also included is a Technics cassette recorder, it's actually pretty flipping good as far as they go. I plugged it into a tablet to record onto tapes for said stereo.

This lot owes me about £100, call it £50? I could do with clearing as much space as possible in my attic so it could do with shifting, make me an offer if you'll use it! I'll even throw in a few happy hardcore mixtapes and a GENUIENE COPY of DANCE ZONE LEVEL 7 which includes 40 slammin' dance hits such as "So Pure" by Baby D, "On Ya Way" by Helicopter, "keep on jumpin'" by The Lisa Marie Experience and by all accounts the hardest and most banging of dance hits, "Lifted" by the Lighthouse Family (original mix)

^^^that one had got a l/r fader under the vol knob, otherwise looks the same to me.

 

I've got a Blaupunkt Bristol at the moment but I think this Lubeck, with the 'Liquid Crystal Display' will be a bit more mid 80's than the manual tuning of the Bristol. The Bristol will be up for sale shortly once I do the swap, if anyone's interested, say £25?

Hey Cobblers sorry I may not have said but this lot arrived safe and sound, ages ago.

I haven't fitted the stereo to the car yet, or wired up the twin cassette player, but importantly I have done what any self respecting dullard in the market for a twin cassette deck in the 80s/90s would do: an eject speed test to see which deck is the quickest. I can report that Deck 1 (right side) wins every time and both eject with a beautifully damped action. Thanks!

Coincidentally...
