Permenent Neotat 1/8 to RCA mod

Has anyone here done this mod? If so can you post step by step how you did it and how it worked for you? I want to do the mod to ultimately be able to trade the machine off. I just ordered an RCA adaptor jack from infinite irons. I grabbed an Allen key and unscrewed the 3 back screws but I couldn't get the fucking back plate off and being one that doesn't like to force shit for fear of breaking it I stopped there. Any help would be great.

Loosen the set screws holding the motor and push down on the slide. Motor, wires, and backplate should all come out. Solder the RCA in place and put it back together.

Awesome thanks

Yeah, I've done that to both of my OG Neotats. Very easy.

Still can't get the god damn back plate off

If its a tight fit, try using a dental scribe to pull on the bolt holes in the plate. Should pop right out
