New old stock vintage Sparkomatic CDA50 Compact Disc and Personal Cassette Player Adapter in its original unopened retail packaging.
Designed for playing a portable CD player or personal cassette player through a vehicle’s FM stereo system. Unlike a cassette-shaped adapter, the CDA50 connects through the vehicle radio’s antenna input and supplies an FM stereo signal at 90.1 MHz. When switched on, it disconnects the vehicle’s external antenna so the adapter’s signal reaches the radio directly. worldradiohistory.com

CONDITION
New old stock in original unopened retail packaging. The adapter and included components have never been removed or used.
The clear plastic packaging shows considerable age and storage wear, including scratches, scuffs, cloudiness, yellowing, dirt, marks, edge wear, and surface residue. The cardboard insert shows light wear and discoloration. An original Kmart price sticker remains attached to the front.
The contents appear complete based on what is visible through the sealed package. Because the package remains unopened, the adapter has not been function-tested.
Please review all photographs closely for the exact packaging condition.
