It looks&amp;nbsp;pretty decent; definitely something restorable (or mostly, anyway).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, what I wanted to ask, was for any recommendations regarding things to replace and&amp;nbsp;parts upgrades.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve read about the CD holder mechanism breaking, and that there are no new&amp;nbsp;parts made for it&amp;nbsp;anymore. Also, about the certain cap (C2103 or something like that...) that is finicky about having an exact replacement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As of now, all the glass and aluminum&amp;nbsp;panels are loose. I hooked the bracket for the tape door back up, and I can open the CD and tape doors manually. When the BC itself&amp;nbsp;tries to open either of them, I can&amp;nbsp;hear the sound of a motor working in the unit, but nothing happens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It plays tapes just fine, and tunes in stations just fine. When it tries to play a CD,&amp;nbsp;the disc&amp;nbsp;sits too&amp;nbsp;loose, so it doesn&amp;#39;t spin up to speed. I used the magnet trick to clamp down on the disc, and the CD will then&amp;nbsp;spin, and&amp;nbsp;the BC acts like it wants to read and play it, but it just doesn&amp;#39;t quite get there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other than that, it&amp;#39;s just a matter of cleaning up the panels, re-gluing the glass, and putting it back together. I think it&amp;#39;ll turn out nice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking forward to this project. Anyone have any tips and/or suggestions?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for any advice!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
