Finally got me a radio at the place at Upp Paya Lebar Road
yesterday. Name of place Sin Hoe Whatt if I remember correctly.
Lotsa taxis over there.
Their brand new CD player/radio is an old model of Pioneer,
the 6750. Selling for $160.
I asked for a second hand CD player but too bad they didnt have
stock for those.
So it's either $70 for a radio with a spoiled CD slot
or $50 for a radio with a spoiled cassette slot.....
can imagine how ugly one of those look. So I got a 2nd hand
Blaupunkt radio with a CD slot that doesn't work. Managed to get
$60 for it.
Installation not easy cos I think the last hirer uninstalled his
stereo himself, so all the connection wires were cut. The tech had
to join up all the wires to the adapter and replace a blown fuse,
something I wouldn't have been able to do simply. The uncle there
told me his labor charges are $20 for installation and $10 to
uninstall.
So basically I got the radio for $40 plus $20 labor. Not a bad
deal I think. Nice bunch of people at the shop too. Have had my
fair share of lousy service at car accessories shops so this place
was a nice surprise. They don't have many good, high end stuff tho.
Not that I'm looking for any at the moment.
Btw, the 2nd hand set I got is a 2004 model of
Blaupunkt.
