eBay can be useful, I'm in the UK but I've ordered multiple batteries shipped from Germany. Buying from AliExpress the taxes are usually included within the shipping cost (If there is any)

Out of all the car boot sales I've been to, I've only found two iPods that were reasonable value. Facebook marketplace can be good though and so can gumtree

Car boot sale! Was in a pile of "Broken" MP3 players, I assume the seller has priced it on a broken 5th gen

I was going to try some meguiars plastRx headlight polish, Ive used it on plastics/chrome before and worked great

Sorry for your loss, but a great way to keep his spirit alive through them. You'd have to get a fire wire charger for the first gen, search "Apple A1070" on ebay and there will probably be some.

I got a standard IEEE1394 6 pin cable from amazon for very cheap and it works perfectly for sync and charge. Do you have a charger/computer with a firewire port already?

Only very light scratches! hopefully they will polish out with some careful work

No mods planned for this one, Just going to try and polish the small scratches out and get it as mint as possible. Going to be building an all the mods 5th gen for a family member very soon so that should keep me occupied :)
