I began by carefully examining the outside of the case, looking for visible seams and screws that would allow me to remove the front face. I knew I wanted to safely remove the tape cover and keep it in the event I wanted to return the boombox to it's original condition, so I needed to be mindful about the actions I took so that I could retrace my steps to repairing the box. Let's start breaking things down! I recommend getting a couple small Tupperware containers to sort out any small screws as they are removed. Since there are countless models of boomboxes, this will be a general guide on what to look for when modifying your own. Although it would be possible to mount the XM radio outside of the case and use a cassette-to-line-in audio adapter, I wanted to make a more compact solution that didn't require modifying the case permanently.
