Sharp VZ 2000 # 2 to Clean Up, Repair and Restore

[Northerner]

I only paid the equivalent of $50 for mine on eBay and picked it up from 45 minutes away...but mine looked like it had been owned by a family of chain smoking roaches....yuk lol

Yours is now looking super-clean

Thanks bro, just a few more things to button up and it will be ready for some blasting.

Well I have new slider knobs being made by member "Bredgeo"...thanks bro!
All I need now is a Tape Counter Reset Button that goes in this location where the leaf spring is. If anybody has one shoot me a PM.

Is it unique to this box or do you know if it was compatible with other Sharp models? That may open up the opportunities a bit.

I think it's unique to this model. I didn't see this set up in any of my other sharp models.

That is right! I would say most of the things are unique this behemoth!

Thanks Bro, two things left to do before it is rockin the streets again. 1- get slider knobs in from member "Bredgeo" ( on there way ) and 2- clean up turntable front lens/cover with the 3M head light restorer.

Bredgeo's sliders are great...I got a few from him and they're still holding strong a year later

Yes they are Simon. I bought some from him to restore my first VZ2000.

That would be great Bro. Actually if you have a counter, I'll take that too. But I really need the counter reset button.

i prolly do have the counter because the deck is still there , but let me make sure first . the reset button might be blue if its there because its the blue vz 2000 e.

OK Bro, blue is fine.

Wow, sounds like you might have the last pieces of the puzzle!
