, ESAAs I needed for my Hi-Fi collection / tower a black DTC-2000ES with 4H / monitoring abilities which has an unobtanium status, I went the other way around and bought a gold deck and refitted the black front panel form a 2H one, with some precision and detailed metal work.
Thus, the top cover, gold, 3-908-784-11 is available for those who are keen to have a perfect deck from this point of view. No dents or scratches or stains are present anywhere.
This item might be compatible with other Sony ES Hi-Fi components from the same generation (1991-1993) such as tape decks , CD players (ESJ. ESA 333 555 777, 8xxES, 9xxES). A comprehensive measurement set for the fixing holes is provided. Also check their service manuals for PN assignment.
Buying this is definitely cheaper than going to the paint shop, wont be as nice as the original electrostatic factory applied paint in terms of texture and color.
It has been cleaned well and disinfected with special mild solvents, will be packed well in cardboard box and plenty of bubble wrapping and airbags. Shipping to EU countries. However if interested and located elsewhere (US, UK, AUS, NZ, Norway, CH, etc) please contact me for shipping offer.
Thank you for the interest!
