Just picked this up.

Shane convinced me to get it as I was having doubts about getting one (not on my list).

So-so cosmetically, buttons brittle and antenna tip broken.

But the speaker foams have not disintegrated and its RED!

So far it seems loud and works fine so tomorrow I'll take the Ipod to work and take it for a test BOOM!!

Great condition. Good ones like that are getting hard to find!

I can tell you 100% that the speakers will need to be refoamed. The cone will have pulled away from the surround, but the surround still looks like it's intact.

Let me guess... it has no bass? That's the reason.

Don't stress though, it's an easy job.

So far its been the hardest speaker to get to to recone
If theres a ezy way let me know
You take of the top push down and up on the swivel
Lugs slied out speaker box
Try and remove rubber banding
Remove box screws
Then remove speaker screws
And then start cleaning old foam from every were
Then refoam
Now Cliff thats the short story
Now for the long way
