For way too long, I have always been shy about removing the chassis from the C100s. I purchased my gold model with dented grills and a few issues such as the radio not playing in stereo and a missing lower cassette tray trim.
I got all of those issues resolved except the dented speaker grills.
Recently, I found a set of speaker grills in good shape for a decent price. I painted them, set them aside.
My wife started asking me if I was ever going to install them. I explained to her that the process is rather involved and I was nervous about tempting this by myself.
To my surprise, she agreed to assist, make labels and take photos to keep my wiring organized.
After I lifted my jaw up off the floor, I accepted the task. Having another set of eyes was the confidence I needed. I had zero issues, felt comfortable throughout the entire process and it fired up and worked great once back together.
So, this turned into a husband and wife tag team project. It was a little stressful getting everything to line up when putting the chassis back in the radio....but other than that, it went great.
I am so glad to get this done. I purchased this radio in 2012 and had been looking at those dented grills for 10 years. Needless to say, I was VERY happy to get those grills out and Finally bring this Gold Conion up to the level she deserves.
