RE: A project machine.....with some history.

I have this exact same deck in my possession. It was given to me as a gift and I am trying to be brave and open it myself to do some basic cleaning, install "The Tape Project's" tape path upgrade and install a bypass line out so that I can use outboard tape head amp. This will be a playback only machine, no recording necessary. I can use a soldering gun and follow instructions so I'm not so worried about the upgrade kit, but I could use some help on the bypass line (aka I have no idea how to even begin). Also, can the front plates be removed and reconditioned? I would love to do a funky thin paint job on the face plates and replace the knobs. But so much of that cosmetic stuff on this deck is functional too. Don't want to screw up my deck.


Whatever sounds good...do that.
