i had seen skippy's thread,as mine has a couple of problems,the mechanism is very noisy at the moment had to change the motor as it was
playing at 3 times normal speed,the belt is working at present but will need changing,i have
put in two sharp 13cms drivers which do sound very good considering the passive radiator is missing,i will refoam them soon,have the radiator foam on order but have not found the correct ones for the other two speakers.

cheers tim,i was very lucky to get it as there was only one other bidder,and i got some cash back as all the speakers foams were rotten.
i have done the p/radiator and in the next couple days have the surrounds for the other two.the deck is working but has no autostop as it has a part missing.the radio is sheer class
picks up everything around me with ease and quality too Big Grin
