Oh my!

That VZ2000 needs help! Save her bro!
Bring it back to her teens!

 

[ZacMac]

hard to look at that, Sad seeing once beautiful things all banged up and sad, Like a rusted dented banged up Mercedes....

There's a lot of good parts on that unit if it has a good turntable motor I know Chris needs one badly

 

[ralrein1]

I'm with the others,fix her up.

OUCH :'-(

 

[THAFUZZ]

That should buff right out. If not, I'd be interested in parts.

Is that fiber-mat behind that speaker? First time I've seen that in a 1-piece!

 

[Northerner]

Totally fixable

As always...good news and bad news.

It didn't power up, my exploring with my fingers indicated the switch wasn't in the right position, it had been forced back, once I pressed hard enough it came to life!

But only one channel... (the left)....

FM is strong

Tape deck works, although the door is ****y, doesn't seem to sit right and won't stay shut.

Record player seems to be loose in it's cradle, well it moves around a bit...wouldn't play an LP, but the motor is spinning.

I think it has potential to be saved. I have enough parts, it will require a tear down to a level I haven't done before, and I'm not sure how to do that, but I'm willing to try. I hope I can get the right channel to work, judging by the hit on the speaker, I'm thinking something is loose. I'll investigate further.

if I can sort the right side, I'm sure I can bring it back.

Yes. These have fiber matting pieces in each of the sealed woofer enclosures. I just disassembled mine yesterday for a full restoration, and they were in each case.

Here's what helped Me. I've used this for My last two VZ2000 restos. https://boomboxery.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=27412
