One of my latest arrivals - the Toshiba RT-SW7 from the "SUGAR" series.
It came as usual, dirty, tape decks not working, crackling sound with low volume. Fortunately, these pieces are easy to maintain. The cassette mechanism is easy to remove and change of belts is no problem. Tape speed could be adjusted with alignment potentiometers on the main board.
I cleaned the volume and tone potentiometers with tuner spray and after one night the sound came back without noise and with full volume.
At the end some polishing on the outside and now it is my SUGAR
