Bose Acoustic Wave music system, disassembly?
 

First one?, no model number seen. Cassette deck and radio, no CD.
I've got the ps section removed but cannot get to the cassette deck area
to replace the belts etc.
Like monitor casings, but where to release plastic catches?

Could not be easier, with hindsight. Unlike later Waves, remove the
telescop[ic antenna mounting screw.

At least Sony has the decency to put arrows next to the screws you're supposed
to remove.

Yes, no arrows here. I'm surprised how firmly the top was held in place
with just one screw holding it there. 1987 date probably.

Give the quarter-century age of the unit, there might have been some
self-bonding of the plastic, as well.

The acoustic waveguide stuff in the middle section is plastic welded
together .
1987 on the deck motor. Perished pulley tyre, 1,2 or 3 "O" rings will go
in there. The drive bands are just about working order, at least I can
measure unstretched lengths before replacing with sliced silicon rubber
replacements
