    Restoring a Pioneer RT-909 Reel-to-Reel

    Thanks a lot for the answers. The tablets will be replaced by definition - they are both corroded, not worth repainting. I have a set of new ones so that is not a problem. As for removing dust and dirt - not a big deal either. I will remove all that stuff, no problem at all. What is more...
