The only "problem" with that is that the components don't come already installed in the front case. At least, not that I am aware of. Which means that you have to install the speaker, the microphone, the flex, etc., in the new front case. This is not a huge deal. A soldering iron, maybe a small screwdriver (for disconnecting the piece that holds the speaker down), and you should be ok. But there are probably a dozen or so "piece parts" that make up the front case assembly. Some ofthe stuff, I suppose, could be reused.fire-medic8104 wrote:From the service manual.
Remove the battery.
Remove the antenna and knobs.
Insert a small screwdriver in the slotted area at the bottom of the radio. Pry the frame from the case.
Pull the frame down so the knobs clear the case.
Disconnect the flex.
Reverse for assembly.
No, the speaker gets soldered to the front panel flex, and then set in place behind the grille. After that, there is a metal piece, with three tabs, that "lock" into slots on the back of the front panel, holding the speaker in place.GEMOTO wrote:you said a soldring iron. Isn't the speaker already attached to the radio and all I would have to do is mount the speaker to the new housing? I think I might pull the housing off tonight and take a look.
Why spend 94.00 for an NTN7151 (which you will spend about another 8.00 on the top escutcheon and front labels) when you can spend around 40.00 on a refurb kit (assuming the speaker and mike are good)? The DTMF front cover is even more OURAGEOUSLY PRICED at nearly 160 bucks...and there is almost NO circuitry on the board, just some contacts, a few diodes and LED's...and they STILL don't give you the stickers (even though the NTN7156 is ONLY used on the HT1000!).Radioshop wrote:Mot. Part # NTN-7151B Front cover- Non Display comes with Flex, Speaker, Mic and side connector already in the housing. All you have to do is remove old housing unplug the flex. Plug new housing flex in snap radio back together.

Not that bad of a deal. I think these are the same,GEMOTO wrote:This is what I was going to purchase unless I found something on ebay.
