Flip around face receiver?

A while back I had what I think was a Kenwood, where the face could flip around to just a blank piece. I found a link to a similar one to the one I had.

Does any manufacturer make one like this? It doesn't need to have a second face or anything like that. I just want the feature of turning it around to a blank piece to hide the face. I have looked all over, and I can't find any. The only things I need are:

-50watts x 4 or better
-aux headphone jack on the face (or in the back)
-amber illumination
-programmable base, treble, etc
-"bass boost"

Any recommendations?

The old JVC el Kameleon did that.

Nice deck if you get a good deal on it. It plays DVD's but its either so small (fitted mode), or so stretched (super wide mode) that its almost pointless to use as a dvd player. also liked that it had custom wallpapers, but setting your own was hell.

Most of the flip-around faces have faded out as they had LOTS of problems with the ribbon cables breaking.

I replaced ribbon cables for people on their kenwoods for years.
