    Hi guys

    I got this from ePay, quite cheap. Described as fully working (lol)

    1 channel was completely dead. Due to a broken contact inside the volume pot.

    Then once repaired, a horrible humming buzzing noise when playing a tape. Cause by a loose ground screw.

    Also needs a new DD gear.

    I have repaired the pot, made by ALPS, but the contact is super gluded to the plastic rotating part. So god knows how long that will last... maybe I try epoxy next time.

    Can't wait to wear this out. It will sure turn heads.
