GMT400 Forever!
Tape deck is DONE
On the right side of the cassette deck, I ended up sticking in an LED with an internal resistor. Good thing I found those, because I really don't think anything else would have worked over there.
Little bit of custom bending of the leads lol. Points the bulb directly into the distributor.
This came out GREAT.
On the other side of things, I wasn't having any luck with any bulbs in the stock location for lighting up the EQ buttons. Well. Guess we're gonna have to go full custom.
There's plenty of room between the base of the buttons and the light distribution plastic.
It ain't pretty on the inside anymore, but it sure gets the job done lol.
Got out my actual camera to take these lol.
So this is where we stand.
Unfortunately, this pretty well marks the end of my endeavor with this system, until someone figures out how to remove and replace the display filter on the radio head without destroying the sticker sheet... The one I tried to pull apart I ended up cracking the sticker sheet, and the silver backing came off in a few places, stayed stuck to the head. The filter piece itself is held in by this sticker. The replacement filter has to be the exact same size as the original, or it just won't work... And you might notice it's recessed as well, so even more interesting. So unfortunately, that's it for me right now.
