The Vivisection:

The vivisection is complete! After realizing the complexity of the 8 track player I choose to concentrate just on it and the mac mouse. I was able to pull the mac mouse apart very quickly and with a little research and computer knowledge figure out how it worked. (the attached images show the documentation of the vivisection and explain how it works)

However the 8 track player was a different story. After two days of re-wiring I was able to pull the 8 track player apart in order to see how it works. I then grouped the wires together and mapped out a diagram explaining where the wires come and went from which allowed me to better understand what they did. I also gathered some research as to how the 8 track tape moves through the cartridge and interacts with the player and plays the song.
