Wanted: Delco 16066752 Cassette Player for my '91 Sunbird

[bluesmokennoise]

Looking to buy a Delco model 16066752 cassette player for my 1991 Pontiac Sunbird. I'm somewhat handy with electronics and electro-mechanical things so if you've got one
that needs repair I might be willing to give it a go on my bench.

Holy cow, Doug THANK YOU! I did not realize this. It makes the ones on eBay much more of an "unknown" but you probably have saved
me tons of money and grief." I did see an ad for a place that purportedly refurbished these cassette decks but they had a long disclaimer
which must have been because of what you said. They request customers provide a VIN number for compatibility which makes sense now.
Appreciate (as always) your weighing in on this. By the way...the Sunbird is pretty much done and I am putting the insides back together today.
Tomorrow the garage becomes a paint booth. It's been a lot of work but it's been a blast.
