I have a Cambridge Audio A500 with remote that does not work. I opened it up when it didn't work and I saw smoke when I plugged it in so figured that's it :redface:

I did remove the Black Diamond Racing Cones. Not sure where they will go but didn't want to throw them in the trash.

When I turned the unit upside down, this was after I removed the cover, a roach fell out and a couple burnt matches. Now, I do not smoke that stuff and figure the guy I bought it from did. Maybe it fell through the air vents but how did the burnt matches get in there?
The wonders of life.



If anyone needs any parts or the remote just PM me.

It will probably end up in my dumpster but figured I check with you guys first.

    The Cambridge Audio A500 will not work without some serious work for I saw smoke.

    In all seriousness I did see smoke and saw a roach but the unit has a serious short.

    Well I guess it's between you two Texas boys.

    The question is who do I ship it to?

    I'll get a chance to ship it this week and I'll cover the cost to ship it. If it can be of some use to someone that's better than what I almost did with it.

    I'm in. Things have been too quiet around here. This sounds like the right kind of challenge.
