Thanks, Tony 2 BOSE WAVE CD RADIOS MODEL AWRC-1G & AWRC-1P BLACK & WHITE 2 GENUINE BOSE REMOTES 1-BLACK & 1-WHITE QUALITY MADE IN THE USA LIGHTLY USED 100% WORKING IN BEAUTIFUL MINT LIKE NEW CONDITION WHY THIS OLD SCHOOL MODEL? WHY DO I SELL JUST THIS MODEL IN BLACK AWRC-1G OR WHITE AWRC-1P? WHY AM I ASKING FOR THIS AMOUNT? PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE DESCRIPTION, AS IT SHOULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING AND ENLIGHTEN YOU ABOUT BOSE WAVE RADIOS. First and foremost, it is made in the good old USA! That used to mean something and it still means the world to me! The parts in the radio that are not made in the USA are made in Japan, so that is a collaboration of the two greatest electronic powers when it comes to manufacturing electronics. Oh! how I would love to go back to the days of the USA manufacturing electronics and electronic components again when Silicon Valley meant manufacturing and not outsourcing, but that is a different story.This unit is elegant, timeless, and simplistic it can be fully controlled without a remote control, as all of the controls are on the CD lid. Compare that to the new inferior models that are made in Mexico and must use a remote as they do not have any controls on the radio. What engineer genius thought of that? New current models have a mechanical rudimentary apparatus that pulls the CD in with a mix of plastic gears and a low-voltage motor, tin, and springs. They are prone to CD jams and malfunction error readings on the display, not my old-school workhorses AWRC-1P and AWRC-1G open the lid place the CD, and you're good to go. However, please understand the laser assembly in these old-school units (specifically the laser diode) is one of the most significant parts in the entire radio and near impossible to come by, in fact, I would say "impossible" as they are no longer manufactured, so unless the seller still has a surplus of new laser assemblies as I do from rebuilding/remanufacturing these radios from back in the days than it is just futile. I have been rebuilding these radios for about 20 years now. The laser diode is basically the engine of the CD player, as more miles are placed on an automotive engine, the engine will weaken due to wear on the piston rings, cam bearings, crank bearings, valve seals, and so on, causing blow by and extensive oil burning in the combustion chamber of the engine. The laser diode is the same, the more a CD is listened to the more wear and deterioration is done to the diode. It is inevitable putting miles on a car will wear the engine among other parts, and listening to your CD player will wear the laser diode. At new, the Bose laser diode should last between 20 to 25 years. Of course that is dependent on the hours played listening to the CD player, so buying a Wave from someone else could just be like gambling or buying a car with a broken odometer. If you have a Porsche, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, or a Rolls Royce you don't go to the local mechanic that works on everything. That's not to say that they might not be able to fix your issue, no you would want to go to a person who specializes in that particular brand. In this case, check and see my other listings. I only specialize in Bose products, That is what I do. WHAT YOU WILL GAIN IS PEACE OF MIND WITH A LIKE BRAND NEW UNIT... Ask other sellers if they spend 3 hours cleaning, calibrating, and testing their Bose Wave Radios before listing each and every one... Ask other sellers if the CD player lens was cleaned and realigned and also if the leadscrew shaft and sliders were cleaned and had fresh lithium applied... Please look at all the crevices in the radio from other sellers there should be no dust or debris anywhere on or in the unit, look through the rear grill if the seller is claiming MINT it would be fully cleaned inside (internally). Why is this important? This is because dust can cause components to prematurely overheat and shorten their life expectancy. Dust can also cause electrostatic damage because of its hydrophilic nature can form a conductive electrolyte film that can compromise the surface insulation resistance between conductors (components). All of my Bose Radios go through vigorous cleaning, lens realignment, calibrating, and testing. A new Duracell 9v battery is also installed, all this is completed while following ESD protocol. INSPECTING, CLEANING, REPAIRING/REPLACING, CALIBRATING & TESTING: The touch control rubber buttons on the CD lid have grooves in between them that are meticulously cleaned and inspected for tears or extensive wear including script wear. The radio plastic housing shell is inspected for cracks or damages and is replaced if needed. The green transparent plastic display face is wet sanded and polished. The radio housing speaker grills are cleaned from dirt and grime; also the digital tuner is thoroughly tested. Optics are inspected (checked for strength) lens is cleaned and realigned. The optic assembly is replaced and a new one is installed if the laser diode is found to be weak. The laser assembly, specifically the laser diode is one of the most significant parts in the entire radio and near impossible to come by, in fact, I would say "impossible" as they are no longer manufactured, so unless the seller has a surplus of new laser assemblies as I do from rebuilding/remanufacturing these radios from back in the days.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DIGITAL TUNER MEMORY & ALARM CLOCK TESTED & A NEW BATTERY IS INSTALLED BATTERY COMPARTMENT CLEANED & CHECKED FOR CORROSION BATTERY TERMINAL INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE & CLEANED BATTERY COMPARTMENT DOOR SLIDES AND TAB CHECKED FOR CRACKS NEW 9V DURACELL BATTERY INSTALLED AMPLIFIER OUTPUT TESTED & REPLACED IF NEEDED CAPACITORS INSPECTED FOR LEAKS OR SWELLING & REPLACED IF NEEDED CD DRIVE MOTOR TESTED & REPLACED IF NEEDED POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT TESTED & REPLACED IF NEEDED SOLDERED TO PCB POWER SUPPLY FUSE INSPECTED & CONTINUITY TESTED & REPLACED IF NEEDED SPEAKERS TESTED FOR DISTORTION OR CRAKLING & REPLACED IF NEEDED SPEAKERS CONES INSPECTED FOR SEPARATION SPEAKERS ARE REPLACED IF NEEDED SPEAKERS BUTYL RUBBER SURROUND RECONDITIONED (RCA) LOW LEVEL INPUT TESTED (RCA) LOW LEVEL OUTPUT TESTED VOLUME UP/DOWN TESTED CD PLAY TESTED CD STOP TESTED CD PAUSE TESTED CD SKIP FORWARD & REWIND TESTED CD FORWARD TRACKING TESTED CD REWIND TRACKING TESTED POWER CORD INSPECTEDBOSE REMOTES INCLUDED I have the handling time set to 5 days.
