Just been cleaning my Cyrus 1 internals of dust & noticed a 3 pin
connector marked "Headphone" ( 0v , L , R ) . As my version doesn't
have a headphone output socket can I add one by getting an
electronics shop to solder it onto the circuit board ?
Thanks for any replies.


There will in all probability also be a couple of resistors you need
to fit, feeding each of the channels. A couple of hundred ohms is
normal. Otherwise there is no reason why this shouldn't work (other
than needing to drill a suitable hole, of course!)

My mk1 Cyrus 2 has a headphone socket on the 'backplate' under the DC
PSX input and next to the tape out sockets - this appears to be
connected to the same connector you describe. Oddly enough, it
doesn't mute the speakers when used so it's always struck me as a bit
pointless!
