Bose Purchasing Place!
I recently had to purchase and replace the factory radio in my '94 LT1.
While searching different CORVETTE RADIO sites, I came across a site on
E-BAY that was selling "brand new" BOSE AM/FM/Cassette radios for the
price of $49.95. The seller — M & R ELECTRONICS in Michigan, said they
could sell it so cheap because they purchased 25 of these units years
ago from GM. The unit sounds great. I have had no problems with it so far. Only difference is it does not have the "BALANCE" **** the original has. It has only the "FADE" **** along with the others on the original radio. Just thought I'd pass along this info.

Bose never used a "balance" ****. You may have something of one on your head unit, but it don't work. Bose felt they had the left/right perfect... so you don't get to mess with it.
