Wow you're on it! You do all that and upload in the matter of an hour??? With kids in the house?
I need a hands down bow emoticon. My phone browser won't do it.

Finished transplanting the guts.
Shined up the switches, rings, and plexi.
Fresh paint on the grills.
I also decided to fix the cracks on this case because the front is so mint. I will only have to paint the sides. Someone tried gluing the crack at the bottom and it made the crack fit together like crud. I had to scrape and sand the glue out before using acrylic cement.

So awesome that this new BT module showed up already. Even better that this one is in a hard plastic case so I was able to open it and check out the goodies!!!!
It looks like the BT module chip is piggy-backed to the voltage regulator board so you can pump 12v into it direct instead of the 3v-5v the module needs.

$30 on this one from Amazon.
I will give a full review/test of it later tonight. I won't know the range until it is in the boombox and finished. Maybe I can buy in bulk to offer the modules here for cheaper.
EDIT, WTF - the company already bumped the price from $30 shipped to $35 shipped!!!!!

Some progress.
This new BT module doesn't make any sound when you turn it on. That was a great feature on the last box. So I added blue LEDs that will light the VUs when the BT is on.
I also desoldered the REC/MUTE switch and used the board and metal bracket and soldered a new switch in its place. Lines up better with the top plate hole for the button.
I just need to figure out why the M70 doesn't power on until I use a cassette function. And sand the side panel and repaint that small area.

So where did you get a switch for this one? I know the first was almost a direct replacement with a 922 I think you said. How but this one?

You are quickly becoming the BT master and this is the BT thread that EVERYONE needs to read before trying this!
It all started with you man. I wouldn't have even tried using a rechargeable BT dongle.
Ever since then I have wanted a better option. My courage to try this on a popular box finally got to me and off I went.
I'm glad the technology has advanced to a level that I like.
Now, I ordered a 3rd style of BT module today. I will be getting a small stock of switches (because I have 4 M70's I still want to BT).
I can't wait to test, review, and compare the 3. I already see huge differences in the first 2.
The first 2 BT M70's were bought to install, test, and sell.
After I decide what BT module I like best, then I will start to BT a lot of my blasters INCLUDING the OG TDK 2 speaker, JVC M90, JVC M71, and a handful of others.
