Will you be including the carrier for use in a car? Fairly specific to this line of machines. I have one tucked away somewhere.

Whilst at Uni, a friend asked me to connect one of these carriers to his car radio. The instructions listed incompatible models and, no surprise really, his car radio was one of those! It was the removable portable in the carrier. Undetered, I fitted a couple of miniature jacks to the radio and their plugs to its carrier, wiring the jack NC contacts to break the volume control audio. Worked fine.
