JVC TD-V711 cassette deck repair completed

This is one of the better cassette decks from the 80s. Retail was $620 in 1988. I found it in a thrift store for $20, it powered up but that is all. Someone dropped it on it face and really did a number on it. Broken recording level control, pcb, door, transport knocked out of whack.

I got it going without too much trouble, just labor mostly. Fabricating a door cover was the hardest part. Did a calibration too. It sounds and records great.

I put a video of the repair on my YouTube channel if anyone is interested.
