Hello, few days ago my collector-friend came over to my place and brought this nice piece to my house.
At first glance it looked quite horrible outside, dirty, speaker grilles were rusty and worn, speaker cones looked dirty and one cone even had bird **** on it. Both antennas also look quite bad, rusty from outside, left antenna has broken end, right antenna is missing. Previous owner (not the collector) didn´t take good care of it, taking it apart proves it. It was dirty inside, some spider webs and leaves. dirty and full of grime.
Most of screw posts are broken and missing sadly, hate to see it. Used a brush and vacuum cleaner to remove dust, used some household cleaner with alcohol to clean inside casing, washed the front panel under shower, now it looks way cleaner than it used to be.
Still there´s lot to do, radio works perfectly in both channels, but cassette deck doesn´t appear to do anything at all. When i turned it on for first time, i heard something electromechanical moving, but that was all. No movement in deck, motor doesn´t spin at all. I need some help here.
...to be continued
That´s it for now.

You can't beat before & after pics with a few scary 'disembowelled' shots thrown in!
From now on i will include even more photos 
This white one laying on my desk is for testing my devices, you can turn it off with a click when something should go wrong. 
damn those engineers, no proper ways to remove back plate of this deck
