If you wish to explore your compressor pressure switch, and I do recommend that you make yourself familiar with what is inside, make sure first that the compressor power supply is unplugged then go ahead, remove the cover. You want to be sure the power is off as there are live power connections inside the lid.
Discs are sometimes collected at some local recycling centres. To find out where your nearest recycling facilities are, use our handy Recycling Locator tool. Check local CD/DVD recycling. VHS tapes and cassettes are now rarely accepted at recycling centres and are generally sent to landfill. A company called Tip Top Media currently accepts old tapes for disposal but there may be a charge for this so please contact them for more information.
First Ryan will have to take the cassette and make it digital, he can make CDs or DVDs of them. Buy a device designed to convert tapes. If Ryan had a lot of tapes to convert, he could buy a product from Crosley. They make devices that digitize cassettes or albums, and can actually burn CDs or DVDs from these. Use a cassette player and a computer.
