Got one of these, slight marks on one corner but otherwise perfect. I'm not sure if these are rare parts so I'll stick this up here before I cut it to pieces for my mega custom STEALTH SHEILD (to hide CDs). Let me know if one of you wants it and we can negotiate :)

Oh right, that's not a "tape deck" to me (which is something that plays tapes).

That to me is a Fischer "cassette storage system". Stowage of a cassette in any given tray folds down a red plastic indicator to show that the compartment has a tape in it.

Ta very much for posting the photo, it has cleared up the mis-understanding. sm4

I've got one of those - for the true 1980's interior look in the car :D

Those tabs on the top left and right can snap quite easily, yours are intact which is good news.

I'm sure there's someone who'll give you something for it. I don't think it deserves to be cut up.....

if it's a fairly rare part then maybe worth saving...

yeah don't worry peeps, not planning to cut it up now. Someone in Estonia wants it but postage is gonna be a killer! Anyone in the UK? Otherwise I'll give it to this person.

It's not a particularly rare part really, not yet anyway. An extra gauge panel in the same recess will always beat a tape holder in a "who's got the best original accessory" competition :-)

But wait 5 years or so and purists will probably bite your hand off for one ...

mm I don´t need extra gauges,6 dial dash will satisfy me. :) I haven´t seen tape deck in my country yet,but we have snowcaps which is rare in warmer places.
