Yea, i agree that fake pioneers are also being sold in the market as originals but then even with careful inspection one can get over with this problem as well. |
I saw some prices at autocop and those prices scream "we are only here for show unless you are mad or supremely rich dont buy us". I wonder if autocop can sell any in the retail market.
I have not seen an Alpine at a repair shop and Sony has qute a few authorised repair cetners in Mumbai. I once dropped my the 7385 (1987 aloine) from a bedroom window and ran down praying it would work. It still works.
BTW in those days the entire HU used to be pulled out from the car so I used to detach my Hu and take it with me. The Alpine came with a beautiful leather case (the case was later stolen) and was in the case when it fell.
I am not sure any HU (but becker) is built like that anymore. I suspect not even Nakamichi has retained the build quality of the 70s and 80s.
