1974 Wharfedale XP cassette deck repair / service

This video is a look around plus a few servicing bits for a Wharfedale XP cassette deck from 1974.
There is very little information online for this deck but there is a suggestion that it may have been manufactured by Nakamichi.
It is a nice looking deck which had an original retail price of £165 (that is around £1400 in today's money).
It had several high end features for the time including:
- Dolby nose reduction
- Bias control for CR02 (Chrome / Chromium dioxide) tape
- Dual analogue VU meters
- Input and output level controls
- Record level limiter circuit
- Auto stop on all functions
Very nice sound even after all this time.
Cracked Rifa capacitor!
