Sharp VZ-3000 Record Player Restoration
I picked up this old record player at a garage sale for dirt cheap a while back and tried my hand at refurbishing old electronics.
Supplies
For this project I used:
-Surf onn - or any air duster
-Isopropyl alcohol 70-80%
-Q-tips
-Sandpaper
Clean Off Power Cords
First I sanded down some cruddy residue on the power cord.
Take Off the Back and Clean the Insides
Used the Surf Onn to blow it out and then cleaned it up with a q-tip and alcohol.
Put It Back Together
Just simply put it back together it's not that hard.
Take Off Plastic Covering for Cleaning
Unscrewed the plastic covering and gave the whole thing a nice wipe down
Finishing Touches
The cassette player wasn't working so I cleaned the heads, pinch roller, and capstan with a q-tip.
Pro tip: Play the cassette and hold the q-tip over the moving parts it's a lot easier than moving it manually.
Done... for Now
Well, that's all I have done to it so far, If you like or didn't like what I did let me know I would appreciate your feedback.
