Restoration of a Vintage Audio Tape Deck | Retro Repair Guy Episode 9

Retro Repair Guy completely restores an old 1977 Hitachi D-720 audio cassette deck. For this restoration I had to replace all the capacitors, repair the power supply and replace the VU meter lamps. This retro audio cassette deck is now ready for a new life. 🅢🅤🅑🅢🅒🅡🅘🅑🅔 ▶▶▶ https://www.youtube.com/c/RetroRepair...
