Introduction: 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
Step 1: Clean Off Power Cords
First I sanded down some cruddy residue on the power cord.
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: Put It Back Together
Just simply put it back together it's not that hard.
Step 4: Take Off Plastic Covering for Cleaning
Unscrewed the plastic covering and gave the whole thing a nice wipe down
Step 5: 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.
Step 6: 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.
