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?

 @lewm You have hit the nail on the head in virtually every way. Just like anything hi fi it is for my own pleasure. If I want to make money it won’t be selling and restoring Hifi - I don’t know enough - there are better people at it - and even they only scrape a living. I have other decks too...
The YouTube videos contrary to my skepticism were quite good @millercarbon . @br3098 I am surprised what you say about the deck. As it happens I am also restoring a jvc tt101. I am going to sell my emt950 project as I have no space left for it - it really needs a specialist to do the work unfortunately as well
