[Electronics-talk] Accessible stereo systems?

[Shannon Cook]

Hi again,

It is the Bose Wave Radio, second generation.  They now have a third generation that is very similar with a few upgrades.  Otherwise, I could not tell you an exact model number since they do not have varied styles.  The first generation had buttons on the unit.  The second generation has the buttons on the remote only.  The third has buttons on the remote and now you can turn it on and off by touching a spot on the main unit itself.

On this listserv, someone commented that it would be helpful if a person
mentions the model's name when talking about a product.
I think that would be much appreciated.
Cordially,
Frida
