I-Mod POD 40GB

[Lostcause]

Hi people, I doubled up when doing a DIY iPOD line-out mod recently so I have one spare. It's been done with solid silver teflon and wired directly to the line-out pins.
Very similar to this but the headphone-out is left intact 😉
It comes with a Sync doc that has been modified with film output caps and I've built several SMD class D amps so all work is clean and tidy.
The Pod is Mint and it has a very strong battery.
Oh yes, it has Rockbox on there for playing FLAC etc, but can be reset to regular ipod if required.
Looking to see if there is any interest

Thanks
Lee

I might be interested... what are you asking (with shipping to the US)? Thanks!

Hi, not really thought about what it's worth but my costs come to £100 including the sync & charger.

Delivery to the US? I expect that to be at least another £10?

Thanks for looking

Thanks, Lee. I have been looking at 60 and 80GB iPods lately, and frankly forgot that Red Wine offered mods to some iPods. I might be interested in yours if the price isn't too far off my budget. Keep us posted on offers that come in or total cost if you come up with one.

Thanks again!

Nice looking work! Will she still work with a stock iPod dock? Have you done all the same mods that Red Wine do? They seem to be the following (cut & pasted from their site):

*

The low quality stock SMT coupling caps after the internal Wolfson (before the stock opamp)
*

Opamp output stage
*

The low quality stock SMT coupling caps after the opamp output stage
*

The minuscule circuit board traces that carries the analog line-out signal
*

SMD resistors and inductors directly in the signal path
*

The signal path inside the stock iPod dock, which contains: the dock connector plug, a very cheap ribbon cable, more minuscule pcb traces, SMD resistors, and finally the line out jack.

Thanks!

Yep! Bypass the lot and send the signal direct to the doc pins cutting out everything in between.

THIS IS NOW SOLD.

Thanks for looking
