I Resurrected a Vintage Boombox (Panasonic RX-FW20 Full Repair)

Found this old Panasonic RX-FW20 boombox and decided to bring it back to life. What started as a simple belt replacement turned into a full teardown — cracked retaining discs, missing clutch pulleys, belts that had melted into tar, and 3D printing replacement parts that took me 4 tries to get right. Oh, and I had to open it back up. Twice. I'm not an expert. I'm just a dude who loves to learn new skills. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail. Join me for the ride.
