In this episode, the Retro Repair Guy restores a vintage 1977 Hitachi cassette deck. For this vintage repair and restoration, I had to recap the tape deck, repair the power supply and replace the lamps. This classic piece of retro tech is now ready for a new life.
The ninth episode of the Retro Repair Guy. A series aimed at retro and vintage electronic repair and restoration.
