New project......

Today a new project arrived...
Spindles aren't turning and it has a loud motor hum.. But is does play music with a cassette mp3 player... Its pretty mint, except a small thing on the battery cover...
Would it be possible to find a mint battery cover for it? Think these are pretty rare?...

These and any other 'rare model's, are 'the one that you don't have yet' 
Finding a Battery cover by it'self? Doubtful 
Your battery cover simply has character - with the mark or divit?
Here are some internal link's worth reading about this model

Thanks for the links! Found the one from retrodos, but the other ones are good info too! Yes, it has the combined Dolby/Iss switch and the six connectors in the play deck. The door is closed, no opening in it. Looks exactly as yours I think. Seems like these are not so rare after all.. Even I got one haha..
Did you try the radio module in yours? Did it work?
I never have had a 'radio' module with the One that I have that has the 'pin's for the insert, so I don't know...

The radio module must be rare than, could not find much about it. Even with google...
But I first have to fix her for playing cassettes.... There must be some wrong elcos in it or something... When I kill the motor with the pause switch she sounds great.... Otherwise I got a very loud amplified motor hum....

Nope I've got a load of Walkmans to repair, but most of my time is sucked up by boomboxes....

Rare is what you do not have! Great point! However, the Sony CTP-1A tuner pack actually is rather RARE! Only sold on the Japan Domestic Market, and only with Some models! Here is a good look at one of these!

Nah, these were available across europe too hence the 76-106 mhz range, japan was 76-90 mhz. My brother actually bought one from Rumbellows in the 80's.

I did get this information according to the service manual. There is very little mention of the CTP-1a tuner pack itself. I have noticed that there are 5 different models or versions of the same player.US,CANADIAN,AEP,UK,and E. Only the E model had the necessary contacts for this tuner pack.
