ACCEPTING REPAIRS AGAIN
WORKING 3-4 DAYS A WEEK ON THIS NOW!
Well I’m semi-retired now, and spending a lot of time on the bench. As a result my backlog has dropped significantly, as well as my turnaround time.

NEW CANTALOUPE BT BOARD KITS COMING!!
NEW 5908 display and amplifier add-on offerings - FINALLY!!
- see post
APR 2022
LIMITED INVENTORY OF CANTALOUPE BT BOARD KITS AND REBUILT PREMIUM AMPS AVAILABLE
Reaching out to the waitlist, first come first serve. IF YOU WANT ON THE WAITLIST EMAIL ME bradnic at oemhifi.com
APR 2021 OFFERING REFURBISHED BLAUPUNKT TRUNK AMPS
I currently have 9 refurbished OEM power amps available. I replace all major caps, all of the internal amp to connector board wires which fail due to brittle insulation, and power transistors when needed.
All major caps replaced with OEM grade parts
All power amp ICs tested and replaced where needed with the exact same automotive grade components
All wires between the main and connector boards are replaced. The insulation on the original wires turns hard and is extremely fragile.
Price is $175 WITH CORE. I only accept orders I can fill from stock. The core unit must be unmodified and corrosion free.
2 year no BS warranty.
NOTE ON TRUNK AMP MOUNTING HARDWARE: I *do not* include the mounting hardware for the trunk amp unless your core includes it. The trunk amp mounting bracket is NLA, so either strip it off your core amp and keep it, or send it to me and I will transfer it to your new refurbed amp for you.
MAR 2021 BOARD UPDATE, CONTACT & WAITLIST INFO
UPDATE: Some of the key components are long lead or no longer manufactured. Cantaloupe will be updating the design accordingly.
. If you have emailed me or posted on this thread I have your info. Once I am sure they are ready I will start contacting each of you. Price will be exactly what Jay charged.
Those of you still reaching out, PLEASE DO NOT PM. I love R3V but the PMs are pretty useless to me with the new system. reach out via fb.me/oemhifi or bradnic at oemhifi.com. You probably will NOT hear from me for a bit. DON'T WORRY.
REMEMBER. this is not a business for me.. at all.
RADIO SERVICE REFERRALS
(ONE I'VE PERSONALLY INSPECTED THE WORK OF; THE OTHER I HAVE NOT)
Since I don't have time for repairs right now, for those looking for a radio repair shop whose work I have seen, try
Doctor Dons
Huntsville, Texas
(936) 435-1811.
He charged one of my customers $350. I inspected the work and it is OEM quality.
I receive absolutely nothing in return for this recommendation.
In fact he hates the BT board with a passion, yelled at my customer for destroying his work with a BT abomination, hung up on them, and then after I called him to straighten him out on the BT stuff, he was a bit of a ______ over the phone and hung up on me too. But the dude knows what he is doing.
The other recommendation I can pass along who's work I've inspected is Radio Man out of San Diego. Multiple customers have worked with them and had good feedback. One of my customers paid $250 for an amp repair.
They seem to charge about $250 to repair a cassette radio. I cannot say whether the repairs are OEM quality or not.

JUNE 2021 Customer Quote: I had my CM5908 radio fixed by ‘Radioman’ about which I learned in one of your posts – and it went very well (no relationship to him but if you ever have people need in fixing theirs)
