John, just try it. With the exception of the small space to work with it's not difficult. I have a few opened up now and the tape players seem to be the easiest ones to tackle. Start with one of those if you can.

that is cool.  I want to try one, but feel kind of intimidated about it.

Taking advice from Beetle Juice I split a guitar cord and then I hacked around until I found the connection.  I wired a guitar jack to the front of the volume pot.  I then ripped out a thing with lots of wires wrapped around.  Perhaps it was the radio?  or an attenna?  I'm not sure but it stopped the radio from playing and left as just an amp.
