Chapter five: Final thoughts

I initially bought this Sony PS-FL77 looking for a repair challenge. While the repair turned out to be way easier I don't think I should complain about that. I'm still unsure why there are loose wires inside the record player. Since they seemingly don't cause any harm I didn't look at them further.

There's still some stuff that could be done. There are still a bunch of wear marks all over the plastic shell and I'd be surprised if the motor speed hasn't drifted out of spec in the last 40-something years. I already ordered a new needle. While the current on works, it looks a bit wonky and I'll be replacing it as soon as the new one arrives. Except if the new one also looks wonky, in that case I'll assume that's how it's supposed to look like.

I'll tackle the cosmetic issues some day.
