Now after the teardown we need to reconnect the panels to get a working naked “sound machine”. To place all the panels it is necessary to extend some cables. To have access to all panels is a lot of work but it is worth the job since we can easily take them out and can step by step control, repair and update the panels.
Before reconnecting everything some panels need to be repaired. Because the sound machine was designed for 220V and we in Austria do have 230V +/- 12% the voltages might be too high. Thats why I change the taro settings to 240V and to avoid getting an electrical shock I cover the high voltage wires.
The shield on the uProc panel has to be removed to get access to the ICs and capacitors below. To avoid breaking any plastic extensions for the source switches I remove them from the AM/FM board and add the heatsink for a better cooling. Some bridges are required to simulate the open/close command of the CD door.
However, be aware that there are no shortcuts and it is better to control the connections twice before you blow up the thing. And of course I recorded a video how I am doing this. Enjoy.
