Description: Hello! I have a few CD/cassette combo radios that I don't need.

Each of these has been tested in my GLHS and all of them work great. Cassette, CD, AM and FM all work. I have replaced all of the burnt out light bulbs and I have repaired any non-functional 3-band EQ LEDs (basically all of them). I have also cleaned any sticky or non-functional buttons. The balance/fader joysticks work with no scratchyness.

There's 3 available.
1. P04704382AB
2. P04704383AD
3. P04704383AH

More pictures available on request.

Asking $50 for each of them, plus shipping. I accept PayPal, but prefer Chase QuickPay.

Thanks!
Jeff

Bump for these. This is what I have stuffed in my Daytona right now, and it's the only one I've tried from this vintage that has no issues playing burned CDs. Great little units.

[Turbo SOB]

Thanks for the bump! I keep my eye out for these all the time. I actually pass up more of these than I get. I only get the ones where the buttons are still matte finish and not all shined up by over-use. The second one pictured above was actually the one I used in my '87 GLHS for many years. I've since switched out to something closer to the appropriate vintage.

Definitely a great price for these units. I bought one off Ebay and it was a lot more bucks.

[CHRYNY]

I am interested in one. Just sent you a PM.

So since you've worked with these SOB can I ask a question about them? Thanks I put one in that I got from a yard in my 89 VNT, when I move the joystick speaker fade/balance control there is a ton of white noise static and it never really sounds good from the rear speakers. Is this likely in the head unit, the wires(should be all stock but not 100% sure because I'm not OO) or the speakers?

[LeYepez]

the number 3 (P04704383AH) is it available?

Hello all. All 3 of these have been sold. I will keep looking for more, so check back every now and then. I have a paint job to fund!!!

This is actually something that Allpar addressed. While it's not something I have personally dealt with yet, the problem is in the two potentiometers on the side of the joystick body (behind the faceplate). They can be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled. I think there may even be compatible pots available from DigiKey or Mouser.

I actually have some 5-band cassette only units that I plan to sell. Some of these have this problem, so I plan on fixing those, as described in the below link.

OK, thanks. I had a feeling it was in the head unit. I'm not a tinkerer with stuff like that so I'll just keep hitting up the minivan section in the yards and grab another one

[Turbo SOB]

Anyone interested in one of these?

[supercrackerbox]

Possibly, unless you know how to fix the one I already have. Still plays CDs but the radio is dead.

[johnl]

Yes, how much? And, I'll send in another, as core, or for you to repair and return. Several cars with dead or half dead radios.

[Turbo SOB]

I'll go back and get it. Hopefully it's not a dud.

[johnl]

OK thanks

I picked up the above pictured CD player today along with another CD/cassette unit. I just need a bit more time to clean and test them.

Later,
Jeff
