Why bother asking!

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.
