So, Projekt SR-56 vorläufig abgeschlossen. Alles funktioniert. 😊 Höchstens nochmal alles aufmachen für eine Grundreinigung innen. Und mal sehen, wie man die sichtbaren Blessuren kaschieren könnte. Vielleicht die Tasten retro-brighten? 🤔 Der Batteriefach-Deckel ist 3D-gedruckt, weil‘s mit dem Original alles zu eng war. Die 1150 mAh des LiPo Akkus sind fast doppelt so viel Energie, wie die originalen NiCd Akkus! #TexasInstruments #Taschenrechner #Calculator #LiPo #restauration #sr56 #3dprinting

Today, I worked on restoring my beloved #AKAI GX-95 MK II #tapedeck.

Specs and image: hifi-wiki.com/index.php/Akai_G

To my surprise, I found multiple videos about it and the original service manual as PDF.

I replaced the two belts (although they were still working) and fixed the (typical) issue of not being able to unload a #cassette due too much old grease in the mechanics, blocking the eject function.

Unfortunately, it still requires some work (and material) since the Wind Idler Assy (idler tire) is completely degraded. It felt like hard plastic instead of rubber.

Thankfully, I found a replacement on ebay. Let's wait for the delivery.

What a beautiful and great hardware to work with.

J'ai un vieux fauteuil que j'aimerais faire restaurer. Il était à mon grand-père.
Les pieds sont tordus. L'assise est imprégnée de pipi de chat (encore lui!)... Bref, il faut tout refaire.
Je ne sais pas où m'adresser.
Vous avez une adresse?
Ou encore vieux : vous pouvez le faire vous-mêmes si je vous l'apporte ?
