I have an affinity for car decks without knobs, and I have been looking for such for awhile. Grundig used to make such a beast, with two large rocker switches, one for volume and the other for tuning. From the few people who had any knowledge of this deck (which has since disappeared from the ads), the general response was that it had a bad reliability record, and was discontinued. The June issue of Car and Driver has an ad for an ULTRX deck (UDR-100) that looks nice, but no price, and none of the ads in the back (or in any of the other magazines that I have looked at) listed the model. Does anyone out in netland know the price/availability of the ULTRX UDR-100 and if my information on the Grundig model is correct? P.S. I can hear the flame throwers in net.audio turn on their guns because I dared to mention Grundig on their net. -Yoda Necron-

About The ULTRX stereo, I know about 4 people who have bought one on the past 9 months, and they are all happy with it , after playing QA for Sony. The dealers were all real good about taking it back until the problem was resolved. In the Bay area they are available at Pacific Stereo, for about $450. My husband has one in his car that sounds better than my $600 Blaupunkt(sp?). Incidentely, the problems encountered by various people were never the same, so I'd say take your chances, and be sure you buy from a reputable dealer, not your local flea market!
