I too have recently dug out my empeg. I installed it in my current Jeep back in 2004, then for some reason I can not recall, removed it about 2008 or 09. I think I too am going to start over - I have the perfect little wireless bridge, and have already tested that it will work at least at my home. Now just a few little details to work out.

I hope to find either a spare unit or VFD fairly cheaply as well, since mine is partially shot. I seem to recall the rotary encoder was also on the way out, so time to look at that also.

On the plus side, Seagate EE25.1 rugged drives are a little easier to find cheaply, so I have a pair. These work well down to at least 0F, which around here is a requirement in the winter (I know, I should bring it in... But I dont).
