Sanyo M W717F internal photo and repair/disassembly notes

[babya]

I dissassembled my Sanyo M W717F to take a internal photo:

Some repair/disassembly notes and hints:
-This Sanyo boombox's front cabinet is easily removed in under 5 minutes (set uses philips head screws)
-Tuner section is easily removed, as is the 2 tape deck mechanisms
-Belt replacement requires that the 2 tape deck mechanisms be removed first
-Speakers and tweeters seem to be using soldered connectors
-To replace these, desoldering will be needed to remove the soldered connectors.
- Any replacement speakers or tweeters should have a similar soldered connector
-philips head screws hold each speaker in place on the front cabinet, while the tweeters can be removed easily (these seem to be held in place by some sort of adhesive
-The volume, graphic equalizer,mode selector and AM/FM switches are extremely easy to remove and and put back on
-Removing the main and top control boards can take some time as most internal parts have to be removed first:
*tuner section
* 2 tape deck mechanisms
* speaker and tweeter connectors need to be desoldered from the main board
*all knobs and switches
*power transformer

Nice!
Looks like it is good and easy to work on it.

btw: Would better fit in the technic section, or?

Just a suggestion and this applies to any speakers that have soldered on leads, instead of unsoldering the wires you can cut the wires in an accessible place and install crimp connectors on the wires that way if you need to take the 2 halves apart in the future you would not need to unsolder the wires every time.

Yes-it'd be better in the tech talk forum.
