[V8] WTB: Bose Delta II (Blaupunkt) Stereo Head Unit or Parts or Replacement

[Roland Broberg]

I am completely frustrated trying to fix the Bose Delta II stereo head from
the V8.  I know what it needs, but no one will sell me the parts.  I tried
Carstereohelp.com who said no to sales, yes to ~~$170 flat rate fix. They
sent me to Blaupunkt who was not usefully responsive. They sent me to
Midwest Electronics who said, too bad we can't sell you the parts you know
you need, but we can fix your stereo, and we cannot tell you what it will
take until you send it to us.  That means I have to reassemble it just to
send it to them to re-disassemble it so they can tell me that it needs a
power switch-volume-station change potentiometer assembly, which I already
know.  Anyone know of a better method to get this part as well as the rubber
button springs (even at $8 each)?

I tried a Gamma unit from the wife's 93 100 CSQ.  While it works it does not
mute the remote amps when powering up/down or changing station so I get a
horrible crack-thump when doing so.  Speakers won't last long that way.

For those of you that have pulled out your Deltas to replace with something
fancier do you have the old functioning head units for sale?  I do not
recall that anyone has described an acceptable head replacement that can
utilize the Audi amplified speakers.
