The antique does phono, tape, cd, radio, so needless to say it's kind of awesome. However, the cd player doesn't track, it'll load, *maybe* glean some track info, then fail to play for more than a second.So, like any self respecting DIYer, I hope to integrate the cd player from the dead car stereo into the cabinet stereo. First glance it looks pretty straight forward, the ribbons to the optics are of the same count, and the various motor wires would be easy enough to solder up. The ribbons to the optics, however, are different sizes. I've been to CUES and the guy said they don't have that kind of ribbon connector. Does anybody know where else I might try to find such connectors - either adapter to go from one size to another, or two connectors I can manually hook together? Also, any warnings about trying such a feat?Maybe PLUG can hold a fund raiser to get you a real CD player.
