Hi Dave, guess I wasn't clear enough, this was for those who no longer wish to play tapes but want the display to work and it's based upon the only "repair" information I found under FAQ or tech section or wherever. It said "do it" but didn't say how, this is the how. I don't advocate it, go back a few days and find my post about the flexible wires that should be a permanent fix, that's what I suggest. I have the wire, I have the knowhow and I have the technique, my attempt was to share. That one is to be written up, with pictures, to be posted on the site. Wait for it. jtrealty@xxxx wrote: > Unfortunatly you cannot consider your method a "repair".
