Brother, I just have to say "F'n Wow" 
Hemiguy,
I have been following your works and I have to say that I have every intention of following in your foot steps. Later on this year I am going to set up my spare room for working and tools.
I have just a hand full of boxes, maybe 5-6. Of that, 3 notable dreams come true in my GF-777, TRC-920 and SCR-8. They are really nice, clean with some wear and I'm not even sure if I would mess with them. But I have 2 boxes I have bought from TRC-911 on the way right now that will need full cleans maybe full restoration.
My point in all this is, when I see the work your doing, I no longer fear the unknown, I know I can do it!
Thanks for some great threads man....Your work is inspiring!

I am happy to have inspired you!!!
I get a kick out of making a box new again , I think it stems from my very first boombox getting destroyed when I was jumped back in the day.
If I knew then What I know now I would have restored it.
I look foward to seeing your restorations in the near future.
Thanks man, When I get into a box, I will document it and post it, unless of course I end up butchering it trying to do work like youhemiguy2006 said:Thank you for the complimentsLasonic TRC-920 said:Brother, I just have to say "F'n Wow"

Either way, it will be a great learning experience.
Hemiguy,
when painting, I noticed you taped over the metal trim with the nippon branding around the tape counter . when you had the box apart, did u see any way to remove this part. i just got my eversonic today and there is a dent in this portion i would like to try to tap out... i havent opened the box yet and was wondering if it was bolted in or glued..
thanks

Those trims are glued.
I didnt remove mine as the metal is very malleable.
I had to take that same trim off the tape door to access the screws underneath the trim
and it creased very easily.
I managed to straighten it pretty good but not perfect.
BTW in order to get the inner frame out of the body the cassette door has to come off.

Thanks again Ira.
