i know this is a gaming forum but i remember there being a retro audio section. any one got any good ideas to restore my Technics CA1060. List of things needing replacing Speaker wire Front panel lights cd laser if can track one down front panel clear panel if i can get one lol speaker cover things dont know what there called the casing has gone all smuggy and the metal is a bit scratched. the remote has gone a bit grubby any one got some good tips on cleaning it lol Thanks SP
Speaker wire: Can be bought cheap from Maplin/ebay. Shouldn't be too difficult to replace. Remote control: Take it apart. Clean the plastics and rubber membrane with mineral water, clean the PCB using cotton buds dipped in vodka. Make sure it's all dried out before reassembling. Casing: Damp cloth/mineral water again. If it's greasy, then add a small amount of washing up liquid to dissolve it, then clean it all off. Lights: You'd need to open it up to see what type of bulbs are used. Front panel/Laser: Unless you can get a non-working unit in good condition to use for parts, i'm not sure where you'd get replacement parts from.
Cool thanks speaker wire http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Speaker-Wire-...nnectors_RL&hash=item2a0ff81a4a#ht_2040wt_905 lights http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....566528&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1156 Hopefully that should sort it yeah i guess il just have to try cleaning the cd drive and the front pannel is gonna be impossible to get and the speaker cover things are possibly none existent nowadays, seeing as Panasonic took over Technics i would of thought they still do parts for theses vintage systems. i can find stuff for older generations ¬_¬ just nothing really for mid 90's stuff
