I am original owner of 1990 Corvette convertible with the Delco Bose Gold stereo system. Since purchase, I put the car away in the garage for 3 months during winter. Everything was fine for 5 or 6 years. Then one spring, I noticed that the left-front speaker had no sound. This continued for the next three years until all speakers (one at a time) had no sound. From internet research, I knew it was the amplifiers but I didn't do anything about it; car was driven only a couple hundered miles per year and wasn't that important.

I just had all four Bose amplifiers restored by Doctor Don's (excellent service). After installing the speaker/amp assemblies, I turned the radio on. The power antenna goes up and down properly, the radio plays (speakers sound very good) and all radio controls work. However, the CD player will not draw the disc into the mechanism and the cassette player will not accept tapes. Both the CD player and the cassette player worked before the last speaker blew.

It's hard for me to imagine that both CD and cassette players would fail from just sitting unused even if it has been 10 or so years. From other threads, it seems that are are several excellent aftermarket stereo systems available. However, with just 7, 100 miles, originallity is important. I would appreciate any input/suggestions you might have about this problem.
