    My latest refurbishments

    I am a new member and this is my first real post, other than the intro thread. My main hobby is refurbishing non-working gear or building from scratch. I just completed repairing this JVC TD-V711 cassette tape deck (JVCs 1988 attempt to compete with the Nakamichi Dragon) that had been dropped...
