Clip
Got a great deal on this one and with some work I think she's gonna turn out gorgeous  AM/FM was working excellent but tape deck was messed up. Someone through a rubber band on it hoping to get it working  Well it's fully cleaned up and I replaced rubber band with FBM 10.2 new belt, I also replaced the dried out pinch roller, cleaned up deck fully and demagnetized and it sounds awesome!!!  As you can see from pics the front face was pretty rough. I stripped it and wet sanded the paint. Couple coats each of primer, paint and flat clear and it's looking much better. I also buffed the tuner, deck door and meter glass. Scratches were a bit deep but they lightened up alot. Deck door window was messed up because previous owner tried doing a glue job and got it everywhere. All in all I think it's coming out pretty nice and I will post more pics of the finished product later tomorrow. Here are some before and now pics to enjoy

Nice work !

I love the sticker at the door.

One of the besst sounding units imo.

Thanks guys. I already posted the finished pics, forgot I had them. I also just got 2 new matching antennas that fit perfect. As for sound I think it's one of the best sounding midsize boxes and looks the part. Yes I do make the labels.

I like boxes like this where the speakers seem to take up most of the space of the front. Beautiful!
