Beogram 1700 RCA Cables Rusted

2 replies

Hi! I was wondering if I am screwed. I don't want to connect them to my Marantz Receiver because of the rust and I currently have them sitting in apple cider vinegar. I don't know what to do here as I've never ran into it. It was a find in someones storage shed at a yard sale and I'm just getting my feet wet with vinyl. Any suggestions? Am I going to have to replace the RCA cables? Upgrade suggestions if so? Thanks and looking forward to being a part of the community!

Beogram 1700 is an excellent deck, but RCA plugs were never factory standard.
Cut them off and replace with new RCA plugs if you need them, or revert back to the original 5-pin DIN plug. 

But how does the rest of the deck look?
And inside?
