Jensen 430-AM (1979 review; production dates unknown)
Surviving documentation on the Jensen 430-AM is thin. The one period record in the archive is a listing in Audio (January 1979, p.70). It identifies the unit as an AM/FM car stereo cassette/receiver. The OCR of that listing reads the model as "R-430," so the exact catalog name may differ slightly, but the equipment appears to be this one. No independent test measurements or further review coverage have surfaced.
The same listing gives the manufacturer's stated specifications: 32 dB stereo FM separation at 1 kHz, 0.45 percent distortion, and a tape-section signal-to-noise ratio of 50 dB, improving to 60 dB with Dolby engaged. Nothing else is documented. No production history, design details or pricing have turned up.
