Purple looks good. The white speakers will pop.

It's alive!

It's all working now, needed a few replacement parts and I might replace a couple of switches that are still a little tight. But it all works and sounds good.

Been cleaning the hell out of it...you know you're OCD when you find yourself derailing a circuit board with a cocktail stick lol.

Onto the cosmetics!

As soon as I say that purple, I thought of you!

Very cool color choice. Gonna be a radical box for sure

How was the tuning window fixed in and how easy (or difficult) was it to remove?

They're glued in. I soak the edges in isopropyl alcohol just to soften the glue...not sure it makes any difference lol. Then break the contact on the top edge where the surround is more flexible then just work your way round. Just using hands, no tools. Not too difficult, just have to be careful

Many thanks, copied and saved to my Hints & Tips file.

It's largely done, just got the hassle of going to work during the week...very annoying

Will be finished (or scrapped!) this weekend

Oh boy is this great!! Can't wait to see the end result.

It's driving me slightly mad this aft. Got distortion on the right channel in stereo but not in mono. So swapped out the mono/stereo/wide switch thinking that was the fault but issue is still there. Cleaned the hell out of the switches already. Will do it again

Oh and in doing soldering close to the tuner string I only went and melted it lol

Have put it to one side and will come back to it later

It looks like the speakers are fed via the power switch and the record/playback bar. Does doing anything to those affect the distortion in any way?
