In this project we're gona transform an old cassete tape to high quallity MP3 Aux converter. Better to watch the video for FULL TUTORIAL.

Step 1: Disassembling the Radio

-First, seperate the speakers from the body and unsrew all screws that are holding the body together. My cassete motor didnt work so i just brake front plexi and the frame who is holding the tape in place

-Now we need to get this cassete magnetic heads which will transform our music signals to magnetic wavesS

-Just unscrew two swrews that are holding the head in place and cut the wires from the head becouse we will add a new one.

-This magnetic head has small piece of metal that we dont need so take it of with the pilers.

Step 2: Soldering and Wiring

-Unsolder left over wires from the head and find a suitable

cable with minimum of 3 wires inside

-Remove the isolation from the ends, put some solder on them and repeate the same proces on the other side as well. I used 3.5 mm metal jack which i get for about 1 euro. Plastic jack are three times cheaper but metal jacks looks more awsome

- Put some heatring tubes on the connections but if you dont have them use electric tape instead

- Two smaller pins are positive left and right channel and bigger pin is ground

- Fastst way to heat the tubes is to use a lighter and try not to burn them to much

- There will be three connections on the magnetic head. One that stands alone is ground and the others are left and right

- You can use another black heatring tube but i didnt have one so i used black electric tape to make all nicer and the cable is finished

Step 3: Modifying Cassette

- Now we need to modify our cassette tape

- Remove 5 small screws from the cassette

- Good trick is to use neodimium magnet to hold our screws together

- We need to cut off the middle frame for the screw and to that just take soldering iron and melt down the plastic untill it looks fine

- I used hot glue gun to secure the magnetic head to the cassete

- Drill a hole or melt down the plastic at the side of the cassette so the cable can go throught

- Screw back 4 screws and you are ready to test our finished product
