And to the Original Radio:
Try ebay, i had gotten mine after being patient for a while. They do come up once in a blue moon. Carefull though, the 80-81 have an extra slider. Fooled me once..

Extra slider?
I really don't know what kind of is the 82 CE radio..

Well, the extra slider is next to the Bass/Treble sliders and that 3rd slider is marking the 1980-81 OEM, but not the 82's..
If you have an ebay account: Check the following:
Item 270764811771: 1982 (though from a 1981), my buttons are dark brown though
Item 220794652090: 1982 my buttons (the knobs for the front!) see above..
And lastly:
Item 310322910653: NOT 1982 OEM.. The extra slider is a up/down 'DNR' thingy (Digital Noise Reduction, i think).
When i got mine back from 'repair' at Ecklers ages ago, they replaced, in lieu of repairing the mainboard mine with this non 1982 radio. I was peeved to be honest. Took me a few years, but i finally scored a 1982 OEM AM/FM Cassette Radio as per my buildsheet and it even works..
Ok, enough beating the old horse. I hope you understand what i am talking about. Take a picture of yours and let us see it..
