Well done! You’ve now got nearly everything you need to complete the job and you could always pass on the cabinet remains that you don’t need to help ‘FIXITNOW’ to help him replace his worm eaten cabinet.

Obviously, this has the original RC70 deck fitted, an RC10 is a different deck altogether. An RC72, 75 or 80 will drop straight in on the mounts, but you’ll have to cut some wood away on the left of the mounting board for the ‘clunky’ bit of the speed change mechanism on the later deck.

You’ve got the cabinet, you’ve got the deck mounts, you’ve got the correct tuner, you’ve got all the correct speakers and I think you said you’ve got a Rogers amplifier, so all you need to do is work out how you’re going to power the tuner and mount the amplifier controls, find an RC72 or 80, and you’re away!
