If the set's loudspeaker is OK, a little external cosmetic attention and a simple easily reversible mod to enable the speaker to be driven from an external source will provide 99% of the "sound", won't cost the earth and won't devalue the set.

Edit- Graham's offer sounds like a good deal!
I assume your talking about bluetooth..... how would you fit the mod etc...?

thanks
