Hey all.
I'm looking for a part for an Astro Spectra head.
It's the plastic "window" that covers the display and says "Motorola Astro Spectra" on it.
It's for the "W4" style head (Rotary Mode and Volume knobs)
Does anyone know where I could get my hands on said part? I've called a few local radio shops here in Toronto, but none have gotten back to me yet.
I'm also in need of the Red "EMERG" button and the yellow "VRS" button for the same radio.
If anybody on here has them in stock, PM me a price, and I'd be interested in ordering them from you.
Thanks!

I believe you have to replace the entire faceplate. I will be in the office tomorrow (10-22-03). Please advise if you still need the parts.
Ok... here is my story.
You can't get one.
I ordered and yelled at parts ID for two weeks. I ordered a replacement W9 faceplate, and none of them would have ASTRO on them. They all come without the "ASTRO". Part numbers matched up.
So I ask them, where do the faceplates with the "ASTRO" come from.
They said: That part number.
In the end, another memeber had a W9 head and I have an A9 that he needed so we swapped.
However, the XTL5000 faceplate is believed to be black instead of M brown, and should fit. Most likely will have ASTRO on it. If its mounted in a console, the black should look better. I may order one for my A7 to test it.
** and of course, after I typed all that you need the W4 version. May or may not be the same deal. The part numbers are:
1502117Z07 - Mobile
1502117Z08 - Motorcycle

Lowband radio. The original and non-complicated wide area interoperable communications system
I may have not been clear, but I know for a fact that the REPLACEMENT W9 head WILL NOT have the Astro logo on it. Don't ask me why, but that's just the way it works. Sucks really. Like I said, some of the replacement Wx series have come in with and without the logo. M needs to do some streamlining!
