Where can i buy a new faceplate?

Well, I just got a jensen cd player from a parts car that my grandpa had, but it has no faceplate. The previous owner was supposed to send it, but he never did. So now I gotta get a new faceplate somehow. Can I buy one from a store? I went to jensens website and I couldnt find anything about it. Im afraid they wont want to give me one because they will think it is stolen. Anyone??

Call Jensen and explain your situation to them....they will probably sell you another one, but I don't know how much it will cost

New faceplates are extremely expensive. Usually $150 or more for just the face plate. They do it so chumps won't steal radios and be able to buy a faceplate and still sell the radio. Since that Jensen is worth at most $75 used, and you'll be paying at least that much for a faceplate, I'd say you're pretty much SOL.

Yep, faceplates are expensive. I would just buy a new deck. Sorry for the bad news.
