Sansui WS-X1 | Tear down 1 | Open case | Detach upper & lower halves

This is the FIRST in a series of videos tearing down the Sansui WS-X1, a six track dual deck cassette recorder which came to market in 1990. (I published the second in the series first by accident, the title and thumbnail of that video has since been amended)
In this episode I demonstrate how to open the case, remove the knobs and detach the two halves.

Just to see someone else with the recorder I used for close to ten years (late 80's late 90's) is pretty surreal !

Thanks for the video, wondering if you know where to get a PDF of the Service Manual?
Ive searched around a bit and can only find an extortionate eBay seller - Will be a shame to have to bin this - a I only need the Transformer voltages to source a replacement (Mine has burnt out)
