Funny you mentioned speakers foam surround.... I've had that too leaving the cone loose, in fact one or two in my speaker spares succumbed, they were perfect when I packed them.

Seen loads of cassette and video belts turn to gulp leaving a black sticky mess all over the show, now that is real fun to clean up, you just can't shift the devil.

I repaired a nice JVC turntable,a while back for a mate,nice bt of kit for a Japanese turntable,but the belt had turned to toffee on the rim of T/T & motor pulley took lots of scrubbing to get it off.

Davy:
We did do JVC's but can't remember models, the place were I worked we were Philips, Sony and Sanyo agents.

One of the atrocious units were Amstrad, remember when their 'separates' hi-fi came out, they were made in glorified biscuit tins.... very wobbly the dials had four or five festoon lamps in I was forever changing as well as the TIP41/42 output pair.... they did a lethal telly think it was a 18" in a galvanised steel 'wrapper' with some kind of brown painted veneer,  now that was wobbly as hell .... this was when Alan Suger ventured into hi-fi.

Philips turntables were a pain in the rear, nothing but thin springs as levers, car 8 tracks with their endless tape were the 'in thing' that always wanted the graphite cleaning up.

Hi Davy,AVS1600 & AVS2000 I'll never ever forget them,I worked for the CO-OP group,we sold thousands of them,we repaired thousands of them.The install man use to have so many faulty out the box,even the turntables could be faulty from new. :33:

Davy:
AVS1600 & AVS2000 were Fidelity, yes Co-op sold a lot of Fidelity tackle I worked there for a while, they sold loads of Rad series of radio's, Rad 15, Rad 28 etc, come think Bush was another good seller.

It was at the Co-op where the telly came flying out the van.
