I completely recovered a hifi receiver cabinet a couple of years and gave a complete, detailed review here of how I did it. The process needed for your record deck should be very similar. Note, most of the 'instructional' stuff comes after the first page of the thread, but it's well worth reading all the way through. Hope it helps and best of luck.
