Description
A little bit about who I am and why purchase from me over others. Hi I am Tony, I have a passion for Bose electronics and I have been collecting, repairing, and restoring old-school & vintage USA made Bose products for as long as I can remember, over 30 years. I collect and restore everything from Walkmans, boomboxes to BMX bikes and even classic cars. I am a mechanical engineer who has also dealt with electronics my entire adult life. From surgical robots to semiconductor mechatronics and also liquid chromatography. If my life experience with electro-mechanics is not enough I will tell you this, I am an ethical God-fearing family man. I have invested my entire retirement fund in my inventory/business…My dream is to open a manufacturing/production facility(with products solely made in the USA) within the next few years and your purchase will help my family and I to make this dream become a reality. 2 BOSE WAVE CD RADIOS MODEL AWRC-1G & AWRC-1P BLACK & WHITE QUALITY MADE IN THE USA LIGHTLY USED 100% WORKING IN BEAUTIFUL MINT LIKE NEW CONDITION PLEASE, PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE DESCRIPTION, AS IT SHOULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING AND ENLIGHTEN YOU ABOUT BOSE WAVE RADIOS. WHY THIS OLD SCHOOL MODEL? WHY DO I SELL JUST THIS MODEL IN BLACK AWRC-1G OR WHITE AWRC-1P? WHY AM I ASKING FOR THIS AMOUNT? FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT IS MADE IN THE GOOD OLD USA! THAT USED TO MEAN SOMETHING AND IT STILL MEANS THE WORLD TO ME! THE PARTS IN THE RADIO THAT ARE NOT MADE IN THE USA ARE MADE IN JAPAN, SO THAT IS A COLLABORATION OF THE TWO GREATEST ELECTRONIC POWERS WHEN IT CAME TO MANUFACTURING ELECTRONICS. OH! HOW I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF THE USA MANUFACTURING ELECTRONICS AGAIN, BUT THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY. THIS UNIT IS ELEGANT, SIMPLISTIC AND CAN BE FULLY CONTROLLED WITHOUT A REMOTE CONTROL, AS ALL OF THE CONTROLS ARE ON THE CD LID. COMPARE THAT TO THE NEW INFERIOR MODELS THAT ARE MADE IN MEXICO AND MUST USE A REMOTE AS THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROLS ON THE RADIO. WHAT ENGINEER GENIUS THOUGHT OF THAT? NEW CURRENT MODELS HAVE A MECHANICAL RUDIMENTARY APPARATUS THAT PULLS THE CD IN WITH A MIX OF PLASTIC GEARS & A LOW VOLTAGE MOTOR, TIN & SPRINGS. THEY ARE PRONE TO CD JAMS AND MALFUNCTION ERROR READINGS ON THE DISPLAY, NOT MY OLDSCHOOL WORK HORSES AWRC-1P & AWRC-1G OPEN THE LID PLACE THE CD AND YOUR GOOD TO GO, HOWEVER PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE LASER ASSEMBLY IN THESE OLDSCHOOL UNITS (SPECIFICALLY THE LASER DIODE) IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PARTS IN THE IN THE ENTIRE RADIO AND NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO COME BY, IN-FACT I WOULD SAY IMPOSSIBLE AS THEY ARE NO LONGER MANUFACTURED, SO UNLESS THE SELLER STILL HAS A SURPLUS OF NEW LASER ASSEMBLIES AS I DO FROM REBUILDING/REMANUFACTURING THESE RADIOS FROM BACK IN THE DAYS. I HAVE BEEN REBUILDING THESE RADIOS FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS NOW.THE LASER DIODE IS BASICALLY THE ENGINE OF THE CD PLAYER, AS MORE MILES ARE PLACED ON AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE, THE ENGINE WILL WEAKEN DUE TO WEAR ON THE PISTON RINGS, CAM BEARINGS, CRANK BEARINGS, VALVE SEALS AND SO ON, CAUSING BLOW BY AND EXTENSIVE OIL BURNING IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER OF THE ENGINE. THE LASER DIODE IS THE SAME, THE MORE A CD IS LISTENED TO THE MORE WEAR & DETERIORATION IS DONE TO THE DIODE. IT IS INEVITABLE PUTTING MILES ON A CAR WILL WEAR THE ENGINE AMONG OTHER PARTS, LISTING TO YOUR CD PLAYER WILL WEAR THE LASER DIODE. AT NEW, THE BOSE LASER DIODE SHOULD LAST BETWEEN 20 TO 25 YEARS. OF COURSE THAT IS DEPENDENT ON THE HOURS PLAYED LISTENING TO THE CD PLAYER, SO BUYING A WAVE FROM SOMEONE ELSE COULD JUST BE LIKE GAMBLING OR BUYING A CAR WITH A BROKEN ODOMETER. IF YOU HAVE A PORSCHE, A FERRARI, A LAMBORGHINI OR A ROLLS ROYCE YOU DONT GO TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC THAT WORKS ON EVERYTHING. NOT TO SAY THAT THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO FIX YOUR ISSUE, NO YOU WOULD WANT TO GO TO A PERSON THAT SPECIALIZES IN THAT PARTICULAR BRAND. IN THIS CASE CHECK AND SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS. I ONLY SPECIALIZE IN BOSE PRODUCTS, THAT IS WHAT I DO. WHAT YOU WILL GAIN IS PEACE OF MIND WITH A LIKE BRAND NEW UNIT... Ask other sellers if they spend 3hrs cleaning, calibrating & testing their Bose Wave Radios before listing each and everyone... Ask other sellers if the CD player lens was cleaned & realigned also if the leadscrew shaft & sliders were cleaned & had fresh lithium applied... Please look at all the crevices in the radio from other sellers there should be no dust or debris anywhere on or in the unit, look through the rear grill if the seller is claiming MINT it would be fully cleaned inside (internally). Why is this important? It is because dust can cause components to prematurely overheat and shorten their life expectancy. Dust can also cause electrostatic damage because of its hydrophilic nature can form a conductive electrolyte film that can compromise the surface insulation resistance between conductors (components). All of my Bose Radios go through vigorous cleaning, lens realignment, calibrating & testing. A new Duracell 9v battery is also installed, all this is completed while following ESD protocol.INSPECTING, CLEANING, REPAIRING/REPLACING, CALIBRATING & TESTING: TOUCH CONTROL RUBBER BUTTONS & THE GROOVES BETWEEN THE BUTTONS & PLASTIC ARE METICEULSLY CLEANED & INSPECTED FOR TEARS OR EXTENSIVE WEAR INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO SCRIPT WEAR.

THE LASER ASSEMBLY (SPECIFICALLY LASER DIODE) IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PARTS IN THE IN THE ENTIRE RADIO AND NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO COME BY, IN-FACT I WOULD SAY IMPOSSIBLE AS THEY ARE NO LONGER MANUFACTURED, SO UNLESS THE SELLER STILL HAS A SURPLUS OF NEW LASSER ASSEMBLIES AS I DO FROM REBUILDING/REMANUFACTURING THESE RADIOS FROM BACK IN THE DAYS.DIGITAL TUNER MEMORY & ALARM CLOCK TESTED & A NEW BATTERY IS INSTALLED BATTERY COMPARTMENT CLEANED & CHECKED FOR CORROSION BATTERY TERMINAL INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE & CLEANED BATTERY COMPARTMENT DOOR SLIDES AND TAB CHECKED FOR CRACKS NEW 9V DURACELL BATTERY INSTALLED AMPLIFIER OUTPUT TESTED & REPLACED IF NEEDED CAPACITORS INSPECTED FOR LEAKS OR SWELLING & REPLACED IF NEEDED CD DRIVE MOTOR TESTED & REPLACED IF NEEDED POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT TESTED & REPLACED IF NEEDED SOLDERED TO PCB POWER SUPPLY FUSE INSPECTED & CONTINUITY TESTED & REPLACED IF NEEDED SPEAKERS TESTED FOR DISTORTION OR CRAKLING & REPLACED IF NEEDED SPEAKERS CONES INSPECTED FOR SEPARATION SPEAKERS ARE REPLACED IF NEEDED SPEAKERS BUTYL RUBBER SURROUND RECONDITIONED (RCA) LOW LEVEL INPUT TESTED (RCA) LOW LEVEL OUTPUT TESTED VOLUME UP / DOWN TESTED CD PLAY TESTED CD STOP TESTED CD PAUSE TESTED CD SKIP FORWARD & REWIND TESTED CD FORWARD TRACKING TESTED CD REWIND TRACKING TESTED POWER CORD INSPECTED BOSE REMOTE NOT INCLUDED Purchase with confidence Electronic-World is a Top seller!
