removing scart socket

After a day to Texel, I've removed the cap of the tv and removed the scart-socket from the PCB board. I think I add some wires from the PCB board to a small board for easy connecting the RPi.
 The inside of my tv, nothing special, but you can see the connectors I have. I will remove the upper blue socket. The guide of the tv (I have found it on the internet) says this one has only record function for the tv, the 2th blue connection can record the tv and all the devices connected to the tv. I don't know why there is also a black one.
 In a previous time I've openend my tv, I've seen that there is a nice place to put the RPi in. I mean the place next to the red PCB, this will be big enoug to put the RPi inside.
 Just down the CRT I hope to find enough room for the powersupply for the RPi. I will connect the powersupply to the same cable of the tv, so there won't be an extra cable on the outside.
 After disconnect some cables I could place the PCB with the scartsocket horizontal. This will prevent that the solder will drip from the one to the other solderpoint. This is a picture where I already have removed the scart-socket.
 Closer image of the removed scart-socket.
Image of the removed scart-socket and the RPi inside his furture place. I have still to find out how it is the best to mount the RPi inside, but I will first making the right cables to connect it.

Next post will contain the soldering of the cables to the PCB
