Hi all. I had an SCR-6 when I was a kid, I broke it and tossed it away. Recently I found one on Ebay and grabbed it up. It needed belts and a good cleaning as all the mechanics were gummed up. I also wanted to add LEDS to the tuner sweep (old eyes can't read up close) and Bluetooth so I can play it from my phone. I will throw a couple pics in here.

I can post the BT board and LED strips I found on Amazon. It was easy. I just got parts that would run off 12v so I did not have to make a regulator board too. It took some probing on the power supply to find 12v that was there on AC and on DC but I found it and made my connections there. For the BT I simply tied into the Aux input on the rear of the unit and hot glued the parts somewhere that had open space and would not interfere with anything. Also I chose the hot glue route cause I can pop that off and undo the mod without any permanent damage to the unit. I did have to leave the (Neg audio input) unconnected when I tapped into the AUX input due to ground loop noise. But surprisingly it is working just great with the only ground being to the power supply.
