Hello everybody. Could anyone tell me please, which other models have the same cassette mechanism as the RX-DT505? (I know the 707 is one of them. Others, please) Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know if the connectors shown in the following pictures are soldered or not? The service manual only says "remove the connectors....". But no matter how hard I try they won't go out, and the only thing that I wouldn't want to to is to break any of those little cables.....
Can't really tell from that one angle, The deck is in front of you, and you have the ability to view from all angles, so you are the best to make that determination. If it does separate, there should be a row of header pins and you would pull away from the header pins.
As I said before, "no matter how hard I try they won't go out". But, on the other hand, the service manual says that, as one of the steps for disassembling the whole thing: "Remove the connectors J971, J951, CP301 and CP302." The two last ones are easy to remove. The problem comes with the J971 and J951.

The ends of the ribbon cable look to be locked in place by small clips that look to be pressed in when the top of the connector is pressed into place. The wires are locked in pretty good might be a matter of sliding a small flat screwdriver under the wire to try to pry upward one wire at a time. I know this is nowhere near as easy as it sounds.

Very hard to tell by these pics.
How are the other ends of the cables attached (by the motors)?

Have look at this video. At around 1:11:00
It seems there is no need to remove these two connectors.
By the way, did you try removing the other end?

In many cases there is a flat plastic piece on one side that you can gently prime to unhinge and free the ribbon connector.
It opens like a door and free the wires.
Some will have plastic locks.

The ribbon connectors were left alone, and the small connectors that goes to the tape head were unplugged to access the deck section.
Hello...... I had to remove the ribbon connector (and finally I did it) because I had to change one of those twin cassette mechanisms which is damaged. More exactly, the one on the left. I did the change and installed a functioning one, and put the ribbon connnector again in its place. I must say that to remove it first (the ribbon connector) I had to pull and pull like hell until it finally came out.
But I have a new problem....
Without the cassette, pressing the Play (left) button it turns in the right direction (to the left). But with the cassette on it, pressing the same Play (left) button, it turns to the right, as you can see in the video. WTF????? (Pressing the Play (right) button, as well as the Rewind and Fast Forward, everything works OK.)
