Thanks to those who responded. Crutchfield looks like a good outfit, but I asked specifically about Clarion CD/equalizer units for the 1991 900 to stay true to the vintage. I thought I had seen where a small outfit was selling used Clarion radios for Saabs, probably salvaged from wrecks and parts cars. I am remembering correctly? Has anyone seen this?
