No, the stereo won’t break the crystal...Oh CRAP!
I came across a SX-750 probably about 5 years ago. Broken (off) power/speaker pot knob, SS# engraved on the top of the faceplate, lights burned out, and the old vinyl veneer on the case was peeling badly. I’ve seen worse (and refurbished worse), but this was close to a parts deck.
Brought it home, and read up on the notoriously bad power switch, and the difficulty of finding a replacement parts - since virtually all of the SX-750 (and lower model units) suffered from the same original flawed design issue. Virtually all of the units needed power switch repair or replacement. Dusted it off, wrapped it in plastic, and put it in dry dock, where has sit for the last ~5 years.
Long story short, finally found a donor power switch, and started the repair process. Ground off the SS# number with a rotary metal brush. Ordered new veneer, and new LED replacement lights. Finished everything tonight, and hope to set it up for it’s debut soon. Fun to bring something back from the brink, that really deserves it. It needs to have the caps replaced, but that is for another day...
