Hi folks,
I have a '96 EB with the JBL AM/FM/cassette stereo. The on/off/volume control (it's a switch and a potentiometer in one) won't let me turn the radio off anymore. I took it apart and found the problem, which is a worn plastic guide. However, the Ford dealer told me that the part is unavailable, and that I should send the radio to some outfit in Seattle which will charge me $169 (plus tax and shipping) to fix it.
Well, it just seems wrong that I should have to pay upwards of two bills for a stinkin' switch, so I'm asking if anyone here has any idea where I can find this part. Does anyone have a broken JBL radio that I can buy, and then cannibalize? I don't want to replace the stereo because it works fine, I know where all the controls are, and I like the OEM look of my dashboard.
Sure would appreciate any help. Thanks!
Kevin
