In the end I have a CD80 unit and a totally separate front panel.
After many attempts at many tactics ... I reckon the ribbon connectors are held in place by a bar with pins/connectors in it pressing into the ribbon and holding it against another plastic bar. When I tried to remove the top bar with the pins in it the connecting lugs snapped off. I then tried the same at the end which was still connected just to check, and the same things happened.
I'll get a replacement to fill the hole!
Thanks anyway
