One question not asked was the availability of a fixed installed HiFi

with, say, 1980 or 1990.

Thank gawd for fashion. I've been looking recently for a half decent sound
system for a charity unit I'm involved with - and within a couple of weeks
of looking on the local FreeCycle group, got a pair of KEF speakers, a
Sony CD player and a NAD amp - all in mint condition. Also a matching
MiniDisc unit from the same source as the CD player - but not sure if
it'll be of any use for this purpose.
