ok, now we need to start the SOLDERING!

flip the unit over, so you can see the underside, main circuit board.

search the area where the RISER BOARD connected to, and you will see a BANK of pins.

We are interested in 3 pins.

LEFT, RIGHT and RUN_DET

Get your self some wires, and solder a decent length onto the LEFT AND RIGHT pins as we see here.

Also, we need a SHORT length, one end onto the RUN DET and the other end onto the pin labelled.

This will FEED the RUN DET with a false 2V feed. This fools the unit into thinking that you have a TAPE insterted, even when you have not.

This is vital, so that the unit allows you to select TAPE from the front
