AIWA HS G08 walkman - cassette player repair fix

In this video i have successfully repaired Aiwa HS-G08 very nice old school walkman.
As for all my repairs i use only Panasonic, Nichicon or Nippon Chemi-Con capacitors.
As you will see this one was challenging one to repair because of prior attempt to fix. But in the end good result was achieved.
