The cassette tape
player also works perfectly. I tested three cassette tapes and they all
played extremely well. The tapes play very clear with no sound
distortions or garble. The capstans and head were cleaned, and the speed
of the tape was correctly adjusted. The fast forward and reverse
switches also works very well, with a quick and quiet motion. The two original belts are still very tight and pliable to give you many years of future
usage. The tape inserts and ejects nicely. The auto reverse feature also
works correctly, with pushing in the top knob automatically plays the
other side of the tape; the tape will also switch sides automatically when it is finished playing on one side. The correct tape LED light comes on for whichever
direction the cassette tape is playing. cassette player also has a search function which also works excellent. The search function, which when turned on, will automatically advance to the next song or rewind to the beginning of the current song. The radio will display a LED under the "On" indicator whenever the search mode is switched on.
The 5-band equalizer also work 100% correctly. All 5
bands slide easily with no outside noise or distortion, and has strong
sound throughout. This allows you to fine tune the sound to your satisfaction. The loudness control also works perfectly and gives the radio an extra boost in sound when used with the 5-band equalizer. All of the original light bulbs are also working perfectly; simply click the picture of the radio being illuminated in the dark to view for yourself.
Cosmetically the stereo is in near perfect condition, as it looks close to brand new and can be easily installed into a show or museum car.
All of the brushed stainless buttons have an excellent silver color to them with no
peeling, heavy wear, or scratching, and is very bright. The face
is also in super mint
condition as it has a very nice black matte finish with no heavy scratches or fading. The
digital display lens cover is clear with no scratches or marks. All of the font is crisp and clear and looks great. The
tape door is also in
super mint condition with no scratches or wear. The original decal tags are still attached to the top and back of the radio chassis, and all look perfect. The factory GM part # for this radio is 16058406. The correct original stainless turned Cadillac wreath outer knobs and brushed stainless inner knobs are included and are also in super mint condition. The correct top dash mounting bracket is also
included and are currently installed onto this radio; however these can
be easily removed to be mounted into a different style dashboard. For an additional $15, I will also include the harness
plugs that connect to the back of the radio; however the winning buyer must contact me when the listing ends as it is available at your
request.
This radio is 100% factory correct for
the 1986-1991
Cadillac Seville, Seville Elegante, STS (Seville Touring Sedan),
Eldorado, Eldorado Biarritz, & ETC (Eldorado Touring Coupe). This radio will also fit and work perfectly into many other GM cars and
trucks from late 1980's throughout the 1990's as well that use the newer style smaller harness plug connectors in the back of the radio.
