As a side note, I should have bid on that. My untrained empeg assessor appraiser eye guessed a value of $900 for the lot. Oh well, guess I'll have to muscle through the Alpine knob hack on my own. Sphengali, last time I checked, your wonderfully photographed instructions online were down, and Archive.org didn't have all of them. Any way to post them somewhere for fellow empeg/Alpine dual-headunit users? Thanks.
