I am a new member and this is my first real post, other than the intro thread.
My main hobby is refurbishing non-working gear or building from scratch.
I just completed repairing this JVC TD-V711 cassette tape deck (JVCs 1988 attempt to compete with the Nakamichi Dragon) that had been dropped and severly damaged. I hade to rebuild a door, repair pulled traces on the PCB and a broken control shaft. I changed the outdated CMOS switches and some opamps for more modern versions. It sounds fantastic now. The frequency response is within +- 0.6db from 250hz to 14khz, there is a +2db hump at 63hz but the service manual calls for that.
I also have a video on my Youtube channel of the repair (not monetized)
I also just completed repairing this 1971 Teac A-4070 reel to reel deck, this retailed for $740 in 1971! This was the most complicated refurbishment I have ever done and it took me 6 months. I got it from a friend for $20 with no functions working except power up. I have not made a video for it yet.
