Looks more dangerous than it really is. Most of the housings have little screws like the kind found in eye glass repair kits. In terms of getting the tape transferred to digital format, once you get the tape transferred to a new housing, it's simply a matter of playing it through a cassette deck connected to your sound card line in and then using some software to remove the tape hiss and other noise artifacts.
