| Subject: | RE: need a C90 faceplate, ebay...alternatives? |
hello,
I am hoping that you list members will reply to this request w/your
recommendation on the best way to go here...I lost the faceplate on my C90
over six months ago and I have been unable to replace it as of yet.
The ebay auctions that I have followed generally go too high for me to win
the bid. My alternatives for now are to continue to look for a faceplace up
for auction, a complete C90--but use only the faceplate, or to find a C910
to replace it with instead.
Does anyone have any experiences or thoughts as to which might be the most
affordable option--or most readily available?
I would have considered replacing my C90, but w/the the fiber optic cable
being the only connection to my trunk (w/the xdp4k and amps), adding a new
HU w/full-length RCAs would be a considerable expense.
regards,
John

I've got a C910 if you are interested. Using the fiber optic cable you have
no reduction in performance from the C90.
Make me an offer if you want.

As cheap as a C90 can be had off the net these days, I would think all you need
to do is have a little patience and start watching the forums and ebay closely.
It shouldn't take too long before you happen across a C90 in need of a little
love and attention and if all you need is a working faceplate then I'd try
to put down an offer on a unit in need of repair and hope it will work for your
application. If it turns out to be completely broken you can always take your
chances with the Sony repair facility... Last I knew of, they still make
attempts at repairing this unit although I can only speculate at how successful
they are at it.
I sent my C90 in to Sony to have the face repaired and upon its return it won't
play CD's anymore. Unfortunately, no one I've come across has the capability
to fix it as it stands right now, including Sony. But to me the working parts
inside of the thing are still worth more than most 'like new' C90's go for on
Ebay... (I'm one of the few who originally bought a C90 all the way back in
'98 and paid full price... $ouch!$)
There's plenty of people out there who are looking for some quick cash and I've
seen quite a few broken units with supposedly working faces go for under $200
over the years. if you're impatient you could always put down the necessary
cash on a working unit, strip it of its faceplate and then put it back up on Ebay
and get ~$100 back. Just last year I got a NIB C90 off Ebay for $400, which
may seem pricey to someone on a limited budget but to me it was well worth
the expense. Even if you spend $350 on a unit in good condition and turn around
to sell the deck without the face for ~$100 you're still getting a bargain
if you ask me.
You still have lots of options, just depends on how much money you're willing to
spend and how long you're willing to go without a radio. Best of luck!
