Re: Craig Radio Flex Cable Repair



Unfortunatly you cannot consider your method a "repair". Unless you 
seal the cassette door so you cannot insert a tape (thereby deleting 
the cassette player) the fix cannot last. No matter how expert you are 
at soldering one of two things will happen. Either the solder will 
crack at the flex or the traces will break alongside your repair. The 
only "cure" is to either replace and reroute the flex or make up a 
multi ribbon cable to replace it. Probably the most cost effective way 
around is to just replace the radio with either the ASI or something 
better. That still leaves the question of what to do with the clock.
