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.

First I sanded down some cruddy residue on the power cord.

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.

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
