The sync detector on the 2010 was born because Sony had tons of AM stereo
demultiplexor chips and nothing to do with them. By the time the 2010
came out AM stereo was dead.


It's true that AM stereo isn't the big deal that it's promoters claimed it
was,
but it's hardly dead. It certainly wasn't when the 2010 was introduced.

By the mid 80's, I'd say the AM stereo receiver market was still growing.
AM stereo was approved in 82.

There's three AM stereo stations here.

Anyone out there with a AM stereo receiver? (mine was stolen in 1989).

Two. One's the car radio.
