Re: JVC - tougher than the rest
Speaking of all things grimy, here's a cassette player before and after I soaked its case last week! It had had a cup of coffee spilt onto it then probably been stored in a dusty greasy kitchen for years.
A soaking in a basin of hot soapy water and scrubbing with an old toothbrush and sponge gave the results you see. If it had not been a 4 track 2 speed imported unit I had never seen before, it wouldn't have been touched with a bargepole! Returning to the Japanese kit. Another fan here. I have several beautiful late '70s Pioneer cassette units and a tuner, and I still regret selling my Yamaha tuner amp when I moved away in the late 90s.

Re: JVC - tougher than the rest
Nothing unusual about this approach- Tektronix used it routinely:

Re: JVC - tougher than the rest
That is really impressive Ben.
Were the insides clean enough for a more routine cleaning method? N. |
