What is a stock BBi pioneer radio worth?

Very cheap honest. Dont forget my friend needs one!

 

I believe the radio itself is quite common and used in a lot of European cars of the era and not worth much...it is the plastic mounting plate with the Ferrari logo that is hard to find...

 

A dime a dozen.........................................



















if you're lucky. ;^)

 

I need one too.Don't have equalizer either

 

You only need one for Originality. Otherwise, it's horrible by 1988 standards......figure where it stands vs. the $29.95 special at Target in 2008. When I get around to redoing the dash, well................you know.

 

Are you selling one? I don't see anything on eBay.

I would guess that a nice one would go for $1,500 or more.

 

Ive seen one in a mondial as well.

 

i thought they were cheaper than that....

 

I've picked up a couple sets of these still in the boxes.
These were sold in the states so easier to find.

 

Equalizers are availble new for around $500. I can't remember the name of the shop, they are in England.

 

if you ever track down the dealer...would please pass it along...thanks................MO

thanks ..............

 

What I thought was simple mechanical trouble turns out to be electronics as well. According to Radioman, I need a new IC for the radio and the part is tough to come by.

Anyone got a BBi radio they want to sell?

Sigh......

 

You can have modern internals put in your original radio, not all is lost Buzz. My needle doesnt move on my radio and I dont really care, its all there though and one day I MIGHT get it fixed. My friend needs a radio though and he doesnt care if it works either as long as its correct.

 

FYI, the Pioneer in the BB512i has no needle...it is a series of red lights that illuminate as your turn the tuner knob making it appear to be a needle moving up and down the scale...

 

Yep. I wish.

 

you're a knob......I see a little "needle" like appendage pointing at the face of the tuner. I dont care if its zircon encrusted moon rocks. It doesnt move regardless of its molecular make-up.

 

If my radio is in fact toast then I am not above doing special surgery to replace the internals whilst retaining the stock look and feel -- including the column of little red lights that is the station indicator. Who can you recommend?

 

It does look like a needle...but it's not...the way I know is I took mine apart before sending it off for repairs...I used this company...http://www.classicradio.com/

 

Confrimed. I just spent 20 mins on the phone with Dan at classicradio.com and there is no needle. The tuner face is a two dimensional array of teeny lights about 3 or 4 lights high by N wide. When you turn the tuner knob, it instructs the chip to illuminate the next (or previous) set of lights.

That being said, I still need either a new radio or a new chip, part #PD 1002.

 

I found a distributor in Ireland who claims they have assurance from a supplier on the continent that they can get the part. About US$150 plus shipping.

partstore.com "has it" for $68 but they are an integration site and cannot actually tell if a part is in stock unless they do an inquiry, which takes 2-3 days. I have asked for such an inquiry.

I am leaning toward toward going with the Irish source.
