My favourite place for replacement iPod parts has always been eBay because of the cheap prices (including shipping). There are a few places listed in the OP where you can buy the parts if eBay doesn't float your boat.

Theoretically, it can be diyModded, but I just haven't gotten my hands on one just yet. A friend is going to be lending me his in late August, so I'll be able to poke around in that one. For now, if someone has indeed pulled it off, they just haven't reported it yet. It shouldn't be that different from the other diyMod nano, but there are specifics to consider. Till someone reports it, we're all stranded, really.

I am getting ready to do the Mod, and I ordered some 33awg Cardas wire for the routing... THIS STUFF IS TINY! Never used anything like it before. Anyone have any idea how I can strip back the covering? No way my wire strippers would get it.

What is the cover made of? Will it melt off?
Use an exacto knife?
When I strip my tiniest wire I still use my strippers. It just takes a couple tries sometimes
I was considering heating a big drop of solder and just putting the tip into the pool and hoping the stuff would melt off

Take a lighter to the end of it and see what happens. You can always cut the end off. I've done it one small wires before. If I'm trying to do 100% work, I would be worried about contamination. It probably depends on what the insulator is made of. After you burn it with the lighter, it may at least make it so brittle that you can slide it off the wire. Can't hurt to try it huh
If you use the solder, make sure you dip the end in some flux or something to burn off anything that shouldn't be there. Once you have a nice "clean" tinned end, make your connections.

I second the old-fashioned X-Acto knife method. I use a blade to strip my 30AWG wire wrap. It takes a couple tries, but it works. I totally wish I had a wire stripper that went down to 30 AWG though.

I've seen some that go to 32
But they are kind of pricey for my tastes. $80 just to strip a wire it too much for me :P

I just bought a pair of Paladin Grip P 20 strippers from HMC Electronics, and they strip wires from 20-30 gauge swimmingly well. Only $14.20. linky They also have the same thing but in 22-10 gauge. I really like em!
