The connector on the back of his head system is a 2×4 set of pins recessed in a protective plastic ring. It turns out that the audio connector cable television for a PC CD-ROM drive has a 1×4 socket that is ideal for this.

He needed a particular resistance value between two of the pins to get the deck to let him utilize the input. All that he needed was a quick bit of soldering. The left, right, as well as ground are brought around the side as well as soldered to an audio jack he added in the deal with plate of the unit.
