Has anyone here restored a Sony TTS 8000 platter or a similar strobed platter


I am putting together my TTS8000 for a plinth etc.

The electrics work perfectly well, but the aluminium parts f the platter look a tad oxidised - I assume that's coz I got it from a man in Hong Kong and I understand its hot and humid there.

I just want the thing to look great as well.

With that in mind have any of you restored a strobed platter successfully and if so - how?

Did you find it while SCUBA diving?

ha ha lol ... 
no, a fisherman friend of mine found him in a river and, knowing that I love turntables and like to restore them, he gave them to me. :)

I was able to restore Technics SP 10mk2 dishes both to stroboscope and to external but never to TTS 8000

This was the worst platter that ever happened to me ... found in the water along with the whole turntable but with calm I restored everything and now the turntable is finished; I just have to prepare an excellent plinth.

3. I found a fine local polisher who has done the job brilliantly in the end for £20 per platter

that's it, it was enough to wax around yourself.
