Alpine cda-7969j japan unit tuner swap questions

[ivkata]

Hello i got this old school Alpine cda-7969 deck that i won over ebay from japan.see now the deck works great ,just instaled fresh ribbon from the face to the pcb and im verry happy with the results.the problem is that this deck is ment to be for japan use only and have the diferent tunner and u cannot listend to us station.I know pacparts have tunners for low price but i never changed tunner before,so if u swap it will it work???

this deck is going in my vette so it must be old school cd player.till this day the best sound for me is Alpine's 7909 ....
