About

Hi, I'm Graham. On this channel I will do repairs, restorations and modifications on electronics equipment or anything I feel like working on. Lately I've been featuring a lot of vintage CD players and other audio equipment that I find either in thrift stores or purchase online from eBay. Feel free to get in touch with any questions or feedback, which you can email to [email protected]

Video Description

I purchased this Teac CD-P1100 from eBay with no idea if it would even power up because its original power cable had evidently been ripped out. Thankfully it did, but that was only the beginning of resolving its many problems. While I did so I had to navigate a maze of hot glue and odd design choices that left me thinking that build quality was very much an afterthought. Outro music: Calvary by TrackTribe
