Wholesale Price 7-PCS Anti-static Tweezer Sets to Chile Factories

This is part 2 of the two part series. In this video, I show you how to change the rear brake pads and brake sensors. I don’t change the rotors because they were actually still good. Also, there was an obstacle that I couldn’t avaoid, and that was the caliper bolts. They were 12 point 16mm XZN triple square bolts. I know right. So I actually place an order online for the tool. Once I get it, I’ll be replacing the rotors and making a new video. So stay tuned. Please be sure to check out part one of this video series. Here is the link to for the video: https://youtu.be/AmZ1hIjpYQk.

Here are two items I picked up at the flea market today, a Sears two-speed child’s record player from 1979 and a beat up late ’60′s Truetone AM/FM solid state radio. The record player only had a dirty (noisy) volume control and a bad needle. Should have been a quick five minute fix, right? WRONG! Well, it might have been a quick fix had I had the special tool required to remove the safety screws from the case (the same kind of screws that Fisher-Price used on their record players). I was able to get them out with a pair of vise-grip’s; but, it wasn’t easy and I ended up messing up the cabinet, which I will try to fix with touch-up paint, where one of the screws was located. The reason they used these types of screws was to keep a child from easily opening the case and possibly electrocuting themselves; but, there are no children around here. So, I will replace those screws with something standard.

Years ago, I had a similar Sears Silvertone red & white record player it used a case of similar construction to this one and it also used basically the same amplifier; but, it was a four speed model, used a traditional metal case latch, and used a metal turntable platter.

The radio is a late ’60′s Truetone solid state AM/FM in a wooden case. As you can see, the finish is very rough and it’s very dirty. I was able to get it to somewhat work; but, it may eventually get used for parts. Even though this is a Japanese built radio, I suspect that this was supplied to Western-Auto by Arvin Industries. Arvin made a lot of radios for Western-Auto and, by the late ’60′s, they had shifted production to Japan.
