Les writes: My first thought is that if you have a working display, and you want to play tapes, it might be wise to try to prolong it's life rather than waiting for it to break and then working out a fix. What seems an obvious primary solution is a thin coat of clear silicone seal, front and back, at the break point. That would add strength where desperately needed and would certainly maintain or enhance flexibility. I think it would also move that flex point slightly. Frank Russo ( from Zilla ): This is a tough call to make Les. If you continue to use cassettes it's likely a matter of when and not if. The only way to circumvent the Display problem is before it happens. The cable bends at such an extreme angle I doubt if Silicone would have any useful effect. The flex point will not shift. Close inspection will reveal this. My recommendations in order of difficulty: 1 Stop using cassettes 2 Remove the Stereo, wrap it in plastic and place another unit in the car. 3 Reroute the ribbon cable over the hinge bar ( big job ) DMC Joe says: Don't fix what isn't broken...... see 1 & 2 Frank Russo Zilla > Thanks, Les
