Hi all,

I am hoping someone here can provide the info I need to modify my
system. I took three years of electronics courses in high school,
followed a couple of years later with a 2 semester course of Consumer
Electronics Servicing in college. This was ten years ago, so I'm a
little rusty, but still know which end of a soldering iron to hold...
:-)

I have a Panasonic SA-D102 bookshelf stereo system
(AM/FM/DualTAPE/CD/AUX) that I bought secondhand. One of the tape mechs
is broken, however, since it's too tall for the space I want to put it
anyway, I want to remove the tape decks completely. This is an
all-in-one unit, so it will take some work. Since I consider my time
less valuable than my money (at this point in my life), I was hoping
someone who has a schematc and/or assembly diagrams for it might be able
to tell me if it's possible, and guide me in what steps to take to
accomplish what I want to do.

I figure there are some circuits i would need to clip, some wiring to
reroute and connectors to reposition. Can anyone help?

Also, another mod I need to make is to add a button to the front to
toggle on and off the backlighting of the display.

Thanks in advance,
