Well done, you made the belts replacement look easy, one few decks I had to replace them and it took me forever to disassemble and put everything together

[@retfurb]

Thank you, Its appreciated. It was a little fiddly, But It saved ripping it all out. Probably not as easy on other units, Luckily this one was ok. 👍

Have same setup, with turntable, pretty decent, but need to be replaced volume potentiometer, cracking/scratchy noise appears

[@retfurb]

It’s a really nice system, I really like it. Have you tried to clean the pots? Worth a shot with de-oxit, if you haven’t already. 👍🏻

[@dariuss7923]

I try, but no luck@@retfurb

[@retfurb]

@@dariuss7923 Ah, That's a shame. Always worth a try first. Good Luck.

It is difficult to say, As different regions command different prices.

Hi, I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I've just assembled the exact same system, however with a Sony Turntable, from items I've bought on eBay. Luckily they all work, but the individual components do need cleaning to bring them back to their best. What did you use for cleaning yours? I don't want to use anything that may damage the appearance of the systems. Thank you.Garry.

Hello, thank you it’s appreciated. If it is just externally, I mainly use general household surface spray polish. Removing buttons etc, makes it easier. I hope this helps.

@@retfurb thank you, yes that helps, I'm going to be busy this weekend.👍🏻🙂

Re: the amp. I have this same system and it gets extremely loud just at the 9 o'clock position. Is yours the same? Not sure if it's a fault or just how it is. Going further up is just too loud!

[@retfurb]

Unfortunately, I do not have this anymore. I know some amplifiers can be like this and the volume controls are not smooth with sound increase.
