JVC 828 #4 showed up today

[Spoofington]

Got this "parts box" today. Broken back mounting studs, cracked dial lense, missing levers, 2-broken lever posts and dirty. Looked it over, cleaned the switches and slides, fixed the deck mechanical issues and powered it up. Works great! Now what to do with it?

4 of these boxes??

I thought I'd have a hard time getting 1, let alone 4! They all work with minor issues that I have, and can, fix. Gave 1 to my Dad for Father's Day because he had one that we used to listen to when I was younger. He loves it!

It's a nice box but I don't really care for grills on them :-(

This was purchased as a parts box based on sellers description. They were accurate, but I see a good, repairable unit here and I couldn't bring myself to part it out, so I'm getting it up and running good!

I put new belts on #4 and it plays well!
This one needed knobs and 2 switches repaired.
Luckily, I have extra knobs and bits from RC-828 #3 and they were needed on this one, thanks to a member here!
I repaired the 2 broken switches and got it all back together!
I plan on replacing the cracked outer dial lense with a piece of plex-glass, will get pics when done.

I desoldered the switch with a broken post.

Both broken flush like this one, other removed.

I had to drill out the plastic base, insert piece of nylon for a post and cross drill through bottom of post for pivot pin

Nylon post in place

Correct lever permanently fitted to post
