Alpine CDA-9887R
Little is documented about the Alpine CDA-9887R. The surviving record consists chiefly of its user manual — a 50-page English document still available through the Internet Archive and manuals.co.uk, where the manual itself carries an average user rating of 7.8 from two ratings. Even the basic category is described inconsistently in the sources that survive: manuals.co.uk files it under car radios, an e-catalog listing calls it a car stereo, and a current eBay listing describes it as a CD receiver.
No technical specifications, production years, or original price have surfaced. The only concrete market data point is a single eBay listing for a pre-owned "Near Mint Complete" example at C $557.10 or best offer, plus C $41.79 shipping from Norway; it included the RUE-4202 remote box and wiring. eBay's related searches place the model among other Alpine CD receivers of the era — the CDA-9886, CDA-9885, CDA-9855, and CDA-9835 — but no official lineup relationship is documented. Beyond that, the record is empty: no design details, no period reviews, no service history. A scan of that 50-page manual would fill several real gaps.
