Hello, today courier brought me an interesting package.
Inside was a Toshiba RT-170s and Sony CFS-45L and they came here as a gift by fellow member and probably the best member in this Boomboxery forum and community- MyOhMy. Many more thanks to you !
As they both need some TLC and "Boombox Care", i decided to take apart Toshiba first.
It has some marks and scuffs on and back case looks discoloured, but they don´t bother me alot as they are quite minor and due to extensive use.
So i get up all my cleaning chemicals and items
It looked kinda dirty inside and very dusty, bottom of case had some stains of some kind of brown mush, i don´t think it´s battery acid, but maybe it was.
Some kind of goo in the bottom of the case.
Deck wasn´t quite clean though.
Small surface rust here and there too.
Cleaned up the front case, now it looks fresh.
Speakers were dirty and dusty as hell
That´s the deck with multi-direction drive and head and with 2 capstans and pinch rollers. Was very dirty, belts had turned to goo (and all Toshibas i´ve worked on have belt goo)
This is the multi directional head, is turn mechanically each time when you switch the Play mode, is driven by main belt and cogwheels. Interesting and very clever one
This is the deck with cover plate, runs on 1 belt and 1 motor and with 2 capstan flywheels.
Rust has taken place there.
That´s actually one serious looking tweeter here, not those flat thingys.
Work in progress
Another look at multi-directional head, in comparison cleaned (right) and not cleaner (left) pinch rollers. After taking this photo i cleaner also the sides of pinch rollers. Now they look as good as new. And cassette deck apartment looks also very fresh.
Cassette door has some issues. It appears that all cogwheel teeth on cassette door have been eaten, half of it is just gone.
And here you have it !A fully working Toshiba RT-120s that plays both ways and sounds flawless ! 
Coming next: Sony CFS-45L

With worn cogs, it just pops out with a sound that somethings grinding very badly and pops out very quick, no soft eject.
