The ones with the rear fader were (afaik) not teamed up with the tape player, while the ones without the fader were teamed up with the tape player.
The tape player had a built in fader which negated the need for a fader on the radio.
I hope this helps  |
i can't comment on the fader w/8-track, but I thought that when the player was being used, the radio was bypassed. So I would think one would need the fader if using an 8-track player. Otherwise how would the stereo work when the 8-track was there and not being used?
