1998 r129 radio question
Seems as though some of the pixels are out on my '96 r129 radio. I only see partial readout of the stations.
Has anyone had this problem and, if so, where did you get it fixed?
thanx

Yes, it has happened before! Radioman in San Diego, has worked on radios as well as bose systems with delightful results. I removed and shipped off If memory serves they called with estimate. Bose was the rebuild, radio was repair and a modern radio with pop up screen and all the features is what is in at present, but the original is ready to install on resale for any collector who wants pristine!

I will take no less that $50,000 for the entire system! radio, other parts and restored car. You can buy all the parts from other members of the forum for 5-7K if you buy right and deal hard!!!
Good luck on the new tunes

Obviously, we're not on the same page. I thought you were just selling the radio and nothing else. If that's not the case, my mistake.
Have a good one
