WTB: Alpine C33 for parts

[jwm]

A couple of the buttons on my Alpine C33 stereo head have stopped returning (they no longer spring back when pressed). The little blue nipples underneath the button actuators have split and don't provide any return pressure any more. For now, I swapped some working ones from other (less used) buttons, but it'd be nice to have them all working again.

Does anyone have a broken/for parts C33 head they'd like to sell? Is there a source of spare parts for the C33 (Alpine's web site links to two logistics companies that don't mention the C33 at all ).

Might want to check Ebay. I put mine in my E30 M3 and put a cd43 in the Ti. CD player doesn't skip as the suspension is more complaint vs Stiff Billies and Eibach Comps in the M.

I have a C33 for you.

I dug around eBay a little, but there aren't any broken (read: reasonably priced ) C33s up for sale right now. Flailing around, I e-mailed the germanaudiotech guy that sells BMW radio repair service via eBay auctions; he's going to send me a half dozen of the blue nipples and white plastic pieces that ride on top of them for a reasonable price.
