This is a Sony HMP-20 music centre from the early 1970s consisting of a turntable, tuner and amplifier. I have started to restore this. I removed all of the hardened grease from the turntable mechanism, cleaned the motor switch and stripped, cleaned and oiled the previously frozen motor which now runs beautifully. I have checked over the amp including the capacitors and all appears well, I have cleaned the controls and the amp works fine through speakers and headphones as does the tuner on both bands. It needs some further work on the turntable. There is no stylus (a replacement is £5 online) and the idler wheel needs resurfacing with a fine-grit sandpaper or treating with a chemical like Rubber Renew to restore its grip, as it currently does not drive the platter. Alternatively you could replace it with a BSR idler, readily available. The unit also needs some cosmetic work. There are some scratches in the wood effect vinyl on top (see picture) and a small chip in the veneer on 1 side at the back. The dust cover has some scratches but a headlight restoration kit would take them out Im sure. Other than that its in nice shape. The original rubber mat is present and in good condition, as are all the knobs, turntable transit screws etc. Im afraid I dont have the original speakers. All in all it needs some work, but it would make a nice project and is well worth restoring. I would do it myself, but I have to be realistic in the time I spend on projects vs the reward at the end, as I ultimately sell off a lot of the stuff I fix. The auction will run to the end and will sell to the highest bidder. Please only bid you intend to pay, I’ve had a number of unpaid items recently which just creates hassle for both of us and nobody really wins in the end. The postage price given covers delivery to a UK address. Other services and upgrades are available at checkout. Global postage is offered but only via the eBay global shipping program, the price of which is set by eBay and is beyond my control. If you have any questions, please ask and I will be glad to help.
