hi,I have no knowledge of electronics at all and, I need a bit of help with a really old receiver, that had many features that I didn't need(like cd support) and I decided to reassemble it to a smaller box.after removing every part of it that was obvious that unneeded I got stuck with a still 2 big PCBs.
and it not only big it should be connected in a 90 degrees angle.

before taking apart:

my questions is:
can someone please help me and tell me if I can cut the PCB in the middle? in the blue is the cd controller buttons and I removed all the CDs parts.

The other thing and is more important to me is which cable I need to buy that will let me place the two PCB in a smaller angle.

Welcome to AAC!

No. You cannot cut the PCB indiscriminately without carefully examining what copper traces will be cut.
How would you know if you are not removing a connection or circuit that is essential to the operation of the remaining part of the receiver?

Thank you, Yes that's what I thought.

Someone know anything about the cable I need?
The connector I have looks like half a SCART socket
