Finishing touches
If you're like me, you like to use alot of extra wire, so you will want to keep that in the can, I hot glued mine to the inside of the top. Also, if you have an extra switch, like my bass boost, you will want to mount that in a pile of glue to keep it from making contact with the metal of the case (this will cause a disturbance in the force (audio)). You may need to cut away some metal to make the case open and close smoothly. Also, there will be a volume adjuster on the chip, I didn't bother to make this adjustable from the outside of the can, but you can if you want to, you should tweek it until you get the sound you want by adjusting the volume and tone on your guitar and the volume on the chip, some combinations
give you a distortion-like effect that you may like.

So i have the same model of walkman as you... and i screwed up my sound input wires... well... by accident, i discovered that you can use your baseboost wires, for sound input, idk how, idk why, all i know is that it works. They were also easier to route for me, since i just put it all in the original case that it came in, took the lid off, and mounted the guitar cable input to the front, (looks cool that way), i was going to mount it in the window, but that failed for 2 reasons... A.) The plastic was melting on my dremal tool and it pissed me off... And B.) there wasnt enough space for the sound jack... So, where the motor used to be, i mounted the jack right above it so there would be plenty of room (obviously i took the motor out, and plan on using it for the spinning bowtie DIY lol
