YES. They said they cant fix it...
but I took it to S&S electronics to get a second opinion

 

yeah good luck with that...i got your mail on talkaudio as well. That looks like a first generation pull out conversion as opposed to the late 90s limited run anniversary decks with copper chassis. Hopefully someone will chime in with a great shop you can work with. Also contact SUX 2BU here as he is also an old school Alpine fan.

 

Alpine 7909, 3331, 5959 - eBay (item 250354028709 end time Jan-14-09 20:10:07 PST)

 

I saw that. I actually have Alpine 7909 bookmarked in my favorites

Alpine 7909, Electronics, CD Changer Controls items on eBay.com

 

yeah that person wanted originally something well over a 1000 dollars for all three items...not going to happen.

 

Hey, good news ! The power supply was gone on this 7909 unit, so I had the unit repaired by Chris at S&S electronics here in Toronto (www.s-selectronics.com/978/index.html). Highly hghly recommended repair shop ! WC Enterprises in Markham http://www.wcent.ca/ (Canadian Alpine authorized repair shop) said it was not repairable due to part being NLA...haha !

Sounds amazing ! I Havent heard anything this clean in car audio ever !!
Even the installer was impressed , and hes been doing car audio for 20+ years...

Here's some pics and a video !
