    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.

    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)
    They seem to charge about $250 to repair a cassette radio. I cannot say whether the repairs are OEM quality or not.

    Radio Man Repair

    Again, I receive absolutely nothing in return for this recommendation.


    ALL EXCHANGE RADIOS INCLUDE A 1 YEAR NO BS WARRANTY
    No BS is exactly what you think it is. I

    - radio code included of course
    - clean front faceplate
    - power amp board fully rebuilt with all electrolytic caps replaced and traces repaired
    - all bulbs intact - looks terrific at night
    - no noise from volume control
    - all buttons work and light up properly
    - all external wiring completely intact
    - reproduction external label on bottom
    - two reproduction radio code cards included (laminated for now, will replace with plastic cards once I have them in stock).

    Recent delivery going through final testing


    current reproduction radio code cards, before laminating (these are delivered laminated)


    cantaloupe ready radio, fully refurbished


    tape deck brackets (included with the cantaloupe ready option). pics also show where they go on the latest cantaloupe board

          Thanks @oldcitybimmer!

          To clarify - and not to p&ss off jaysterling - I resold my personal 1st gen production board to him, a late 2017 version without the aux in. I also have a pre-production prototype that I will not ever sell.

          You need to purchase your cantaloupe boards through cantalouperadio.com or an authorized reseller like Levent / Gutenparts. I'll talk to Jay about an option for you to have them shipped to me directly.

          UPDATE (APR 2019): I CAN NOW SELL YOU CANTALOUPE BOARDS AND ACCESSORIES IF YOU ORDER THE REFURB SERVICE FOR YOUR RADIO (thanks jaysterling!)

          UPDATE 2 (MAR 2021): THIS OPTION IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS JAY IS NOT PRODUCING THESE BOARDS ANYMORE. IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH A CANTALOUPE BOARD PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME AS I HAVE SOME WARRANTY STOCK AVAILABLE.

                      All I have increased prices for the tape deck version. Those of you that contacted me before no worries I will honor the original posted price.

                      It's just too much work to restore the rollers, clean the head, find clean reliable tape mechanisms that won't eat your tapes after a month, won't warble like crazy, won't autoreverse on you, don't fully function with scan, ff, rew etc. etc..

                        Restored with the tape deck. she works beautifully. Rush on the cassette lol.

                        1st pic was before final assembly - ALL screws present on delivered unit.


                        Note quality of the faceplate. That took an hour of work, swapped bits.
