Very good video but I suggest the following, to remove rust or traces of acid from the metal parts, first wash with soapy water, then use baking soda and water, leaving it with the texture of toothpaste. Apply and cover everything, leave it on for 24 hours. Then wash again with soapy water, use an air compressor and polish if you want with a shine.

Cool, thanks for the nice tip! I appreciate!

Thank you for the video! I just got an older Sanyo TRC 5650, which on the inside looks quite similar (many more capacitors though...) and seems to have similar problems to yours here. So I will try and follow your procedure to see if I can also repair it. At the end of your video there is a line saying that you repaired the internal REC switch. What/where is that and what was there to repair it?

[@macropathsoundscapes]

Hi! I'm glad you will find this video useful. Regarding the REC problem, basically all the times you're pressing the red button to record, it's going to press a particular internal switch which most of the times it gets dirty and needs to be cleaned. When dirty it might get stuck and not allowing the REC function to start, causing also some feedback noises. This is what I learnt after repairing several similar dictaphones. Hope it helps.

Thank you for the video. What was the spray used?

[@macropathsoundscapes]

Hi! Was a Svitol spray to revitalize circuit board and main electric/electronic parts, contacts and components.

I don't see the reason why these capacitors should be replaced. They don't look swollen or leaky. Perhaps his ability has been measured outside of the video?

[@macropathsoundscapes]

Hi! Yes I thought the problem was with the capacitors but eventually it was not. I'm learning by doing, so when I took this video I still didn't know how to measure them. However I really enjoyed the process of re-capping :))
