Well, I found this bad boy in the trash back home in '07. I brought it home, and realized the main power cord was cut from the stereo. I quickly twisted with electrical tape attached a Vacuums power cable. It Worked! As 'ghetto' as that might have been. (I was young).
Well, Here it is 4 years later, and I am stationed in South korea. I just bought my new kenwood, which is another story. Well I decided, This Fisher is +-50 years old. And she still plays like a beauty. So, here I am giving her a well deserved bath. THIS IS MY FIRST CLEANING/RESTORATION ever performed, thats why it is a semi cleaning.
Well, I know I enjoy looking over others restorations. I am 20, and work in the army so I dont have much time to do this. But here is my Cleaning, Enjoy and any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Here she is.
My first step,
Removing the knobs and faceplate,
Power Supply
Starting to clean now, More pictures will be posted later!
UPDATE-
Tidying up wires
Sodered in all the conections, wiped down final time with brush.
FINISHED Product-
Before cleaning, sound would crackle when adjusting volume, and only 1 of the 4 channels worked. Now all channels play crisply, crackling is gone with volume adjusting, and I am very happy. She is now hooked up to some sony bookshelf speakers for display mostly, while I use my Kenwood KR-V6070 with 2x ISP-5000's
