Default WTB: Period-look CD player

I just don't like the look of most of the current designs, with multi colored displays and such.... Would like to source a head unit similar to these two Blaupunkts pictured. Not too concerned with sound quality, as long as it's fully functional. Single CD player with changer control is what i'm aiming for. Any leads?

Look for a Becker cdr-210 or cdr-220. These were in the early boxsters and 911's from 97 on up untill they went to the MOST fiber optic system.

You can usually find some on evil bay.

Get a Becker unit, or Porsche-labeled Becker (CDR-22, CDR-220, Porsche Traffic Pro etc). They are top-quality, look like they have made for our cars and let you connect iPod with full functionality using Dension iPod kit.
can't go wrong with this setup!

Thanks for the advice guys.
Did a litle research on the Porsche/Becker units. That sure seems to be the best way to go.
Will start looking for the CDR-22, which appears to be the same as CDR-220 but with Euro radio frequency scale.

Has anyone seen any good cd/mp3 players that match our style? I used to mess with CD changers until I converted to MP3s, it is a great way to lose a couple of pounds!

There are some nakamichi units out there that look work great and are 'period looking'.

Here are some examples.
