Sorry for being abrupt with the station-switching. Hard to demo an FM radio without the video being muted due to music copyright. . . . SEE FULL DESCRIPTION BY CLICKING 'SHOW MORE':

Demonstration of operating a 1977 Chrysler Search-Tune AM/FM stereo, model 4048001, with direct-entry digital tuning and 10 random AM/FM presets in the Dodge Aspen. According to Chrysler, "The most advanced radio available in a car today" (1977). Packed with separate PC boards for synthesizer, logic, tuner, display, power supply and amplifier, with LSI and TTL chips. Very impressive tuner performance and sound quality for a car radio which is now almost 40 years old.
