Looking for 91 Pontiac firebird formula ux1 radio with aux

I used the search function but it just leads to ended Ebay listings. I have a 91 formula that has the am fm cassette with equaliser that I think is a ux1. I'm looking for a refurbished one with aux input. I could only find ones with only bass and treble adjustment. And links or leads will be appreciated. Just want my stock radio but not broken and with aux input. Mine looks like this:

Re: Looking for 91 Pontiac firebird formula ux1 radio with aux

What’s wrong with the one you have, what’s it doing/not doing? Different fixes for the radio vs. the cassette.

I have 4 of these radios and 1 in my car. They’re pretty easy to get and not expensive - the last one I bought off eBay for $40 about a month ago. I’ve mixed and matched the cassette section with the radio amp until I got a good set.

New belt sets for the cassette can be purchased for $15 from fierostore.com and while you’re in there you can clean up everything. In the more extreme cases you can replace the leaky capacitors if you have a channel cutting out, it’s not hard to do.

New belt sets for the cassette can be purchased for $15 from fierostore.com
I don't think they sell the 2-belt set for the blaupunkt cassette mechanism anymore. The link I had saved is dead and the only belts listed these days are for the basic 3-button cassette mechs.

Old Link for EQ radio cassette belts:
https://www.fierostore.com/Product/D...ZERS&d=276&p=1

Active cassette belt link:
https://www.fierostore.com/Product/B...aspx?d=276&p=1

Does not fit radios with the five band equalizer.
Does not fit push button radios (no volume/tuner *****).

I found one in my inventory,... AUX already install on a cable. ( I thought this was sold - it was just stored in the wrong spot ! )
