What a beauty

Very very dirty but complete, however it needs more than a clean

Cassette deck has a broken key or 2 which I know is common all these models!

Anyone got any spares for me??

Tuning knob missing but I may have a suitable one, got to look in my large scrapper box........& although tuning & radio work well, the shaft is loose, an easy fix but must be done of course

We can't wait to get on with this one - for now here's a picture or 2 as a teaser - Even my Orange Cat seems to approve...........

Am like a kid again today, I just keep looking at her!!

Well Guys..................

This Crown 960 is turning into a f**king right headache

Mostly restored but the cassette deck is a nightmare - the keys are not broken at all, the mechanics are pretty much seized up & the autostop is really playing up

It's a 'Put Aside' job & one to return to another day............I think a deck stripdown is called for (I know it is!!!) but hoped I could get away with it!! lol

Anyway, it's got to be done right - I am not keen on this deck, it is a lot more complex then you think!! Microswitches everywhere for the search system & cables that don't unplug ffs!!

I love this thing & I will get there

Can't wait to show you guys when it all works again, in the meantime this what I have been looking at:

I know there's a lot but worth seeing I think

Well, I think you're doing a great job and your dedication will pay off. :yes: I love there 'strip down' threads but they do make me realise that I need to get my own backside in gear!

I don't think I've seen this one either. I like Joes comment, "Classic Business Man." I think that's a great description. Very clean cut looking box.
