I swapped a tuning knob from a Unisef SL5100 and some innards as well as doors from a HK9000 with the master in return for the innards from a Conion 126. It took us way over a month to sort it out, but once sent, we both received eachothers gifts in what seems record time.
Thanks again for all your help, I now have a fully functional 126 !!!
Here is the message I sent him which also describes my customs ordeal.
Hey there again, so you got the stuff before Christmas!?!?!? Wow, I sent that on the monday the week before, meaning it only took like a week to get to you! Amazing. Mine got here on friday the 2nd, also an incredibly fast delivery time.
I picked it up yesterday from customs who kept me waiting over an hour. Its disgusting really. There were old people who could hardly walk, plus a guy in a wheelchair who had such a huge parcel to take home with him. These muthafookers irritate me so much, and what, for a couple euros more? Anyway, they asked me about the value of the parts, and I told them that I saw an entire radio on eBay last week for 17 euros. They still made me open the box, and when they saw the dirt and dust on the speaker trims (thanks by the way!!!, it really helped in this case
) they let me go with no charge.
Gonna go home after work tonight and finally fix my conion which has never worked since I got it over a year ago.
I'm happy I was able to help, and very very grateful for your help also. Let me know if theres ever anything else I can help with and I hope to have more pleasant dealings with you in the near future.
Best
Mirko
So maybe we should start throwing some dirt into our packages.... maybe some spare parts on top all busted up... just to throw customs off the scent!
Glad we could help each other out. Some of those parts are super hard to find......we both made out well!
I forgot the grills were just hangin around, glad customs got slapped......LOL
SUPER YAY for both of you!
AWESOME!!! way to go guys.
very cool international parts swap
I can feel the love... I can feel it!!!
