Years ago I had a Sony catalog that listed all of their boomboxes and I remember a BBX they listed that I haven't seen in a LONG time (probably around 93). It was a CFD series...CD player, TWO full logic auto reverse decks that I think BOTH recorded---music search etc, mega bass, digital tuner, detachable speakers...it was the TOP of the line model. I had a CFD750 and this one was a step above it. Anyone know the model #?

Possibly a CFD-770: it has everything you list minus both decks recording. Is it this one? That one of mine is dated something around late 1990.

Yep...thats the one I was thinking of. I will never understand why Sony neglected to put a line input on that model and several of the other higher end models like it.

That's my only major complaint about it. Maybe the rationale at the time was that line-ins were used mostly for CD players. "This has a CD player, so who needs a line-in?" This being before the iPod generation, when portable CD players were what were usually plugged into line-ins. Sometime or another I'm planning on hacking one in. Probably add a 3.5mm jack inside the battery compartment and an A/B switch inside the CD player compartment, that way it'll be unobtrusive. It's a terrific toy, but not as useful as it could be. I'm in "temporary quarters" right now (an RV) and would like to use this as a stereo up front for TV/DVD/computer audio, instead of the dinky box (also w/hacked line-in) I'm using now.
