Wanted: Broken 501/508

[avediswolf]

I don't care if it doesn't have a HDD, or card, or anything, I basically only want the shell, specifically, the front face of it.

Mine had a little accident, and the front is broken. The insides are now working, and I'd like to fix it up, and maybe give it to my folks to put on their account since I bought a new receiver to replace that one.

Thanks.

If I had one I would send it too ya. Cause I know what you mean. I had a 301 with same problem. I got a front off of a dead 311 and put on it. Kind of funny since a 311 don't have a card and the 301 does but it is aesticly pleaseing now.

Yeah, the front part won't even stay on, the little plastic hooks broke when it was falling, and the kid grabbed it by the front. I thought it was toast, but some of the wires came unhooked when he grabbed the front, and I got it working.

Figured it would be nice to give that to my folks as an upgrade to their old receiver made in the dinosour days.
