Alpine 7272 (c. 1985)

Documentation on the Alpine 7272 is thin. What little is known comes from a brief mention in High Fidelity (October 1985, p.52), which placed the 7272 in Alpine's car stereo line alongside the 7171 ($250). The magazine noted that both models used "an oversized LED display." The 7272 was listed at $370. That is about all the period record offers. No specifications, no power ratings, no production years and no manual fragments have surfaced. It appears to have been a higher-tier head unit in Alpine's mid-1980s lineup, distinguished by its large display. Beyond that, the details are lost.

Approximate price (1985): $370
Display: oversized LED
