dan-

Tell us what you mean by "older." Brand, model number and condition would be even better because then we may be able to answer
your question. Be prepared, however, to hear that the conversion isn't worth the effort. Many "older" models lack detail and operating
characteristics which would justify the effort and expense of a conversion, especially if they have a few miles on them.

Also consider the cost. About $50 to $60 for low end sound and as much as $150 for high end sound. Cost will depend on your shopping abilities.
If no experience at doing this, it will be quite a challenge.
