Great! This device is the best wave system in sound accurate. All frequencies sounds clear!!! Awesome!!!

Nicely done. Love the details. Just one question - where can I get the replacement screen?

John Stine - Apr 4, 2020

Instructions were PERFECT! Thank you. I found my replacement screen on ebay for $25, took a chance that it would work as stated by the seller. Otherwise I would have thrown the radio away.

I performed the repair as directed. It was easy especially if you have a plastic spung to work with. Problem comes from the new display once installed shows all the characters? Unplugged it and re-plugged but still stuck in all character test mode?
