Selling UGLY Empeg

I have a MkII for sale. Its display was replace by Stu at Eutronix about 1 year / 18 months ago.

Let me state EXACTLY what the status is.
Its ugly, no face plate or lense or buttons, I took them off and now i'll be lucky if i find all the pieces in my new house.
the handle on one side is missing a screw and the springs on the handle are gone.

So if you have a pretty but dead unit, maybe you can just pop your hard drive in, put your fascia and buttons on and get a complete unit.

Send me a PM with your best offer.

PM sent.

But could you clarify something for everyone:

Does it work?

The hard drive will need to be replaced as it has intermittent problems.

any idea on how the sled and tuner can be removed? I paid to have it installed in my car..

It should all remove easily *from the front*, without having to disassemble the dash or anything.

The sled is designed to be held in place by bendable metal tabs, just in from the front edge. Look closely at it, and you should notice many such tabs, but only 2-4 of them actually bent to hold it.

Just reach into the tab holes with bentnose pliers (or straight needlenose, or stiff wire, or a fork, or..) and put the bent tabs back up so that they are once again flush with the sled.

One they're all straight again, the sled should pull gently straight out from the dash. The cabling and tuner are probably stuffed in behind it.

There's a small chance that you may have to crawl in on your back and detach a small metal strap/screw from the centre/rear of the sled before it will budge. Some installers connect that, and some don't.

Cheers

Depends on how they installed it. Mine isn't held in place by the tabs, I drilled screw holes in the sides to attach to the Honda dash cage. So that statement, although generally true, has a relatively large "but" attached to it.

If you get stuck then post some piccies from different angles - we've seen a lot of installs so may be able to spot things and advise.

Note to all:

I've backed out of this transaction (too many empegs now), so this (great!) deal is still available. It's worth it for the display alone, so go for it!

Cheers

Nudge nudge...wink wink....say no more!

Hm, I should get that to replace the dead (?) motherboard in my friend's empeg.....

PM sent

You should mail that "dead" motherboard to me here.
I think I can probably fix it (haven't failed yet).

Cheers

I am interested (I need a new display for one of mine, or can transfer over the cosmetic parts to this one). Please email me at hans14914 (at) yahoo (dot) com with asking price.
Thanks
