I can spend hours on an old Jap receiver, from one of the major brands before it is all working again.

Corroded toggle, pushbutton and rotary switches, pots, RC sockets, multi-pin connectors, wire wrap joints, fuse clips, bulb sockets, noisy tuning gang bearings, bad headphone jacks, dead back lights and maybe a few leaky or open electros. Plus of course speaker relays.

Almost nothing in parts, but heaps of time that must be paid for.
