Has anyone here restored a Sony TTS 8000 platter or a similar strobed platter

There's a slew of restoration videos on youtube. Search around you will find all kinds of really neat tricks for removing oxidation and restoring an original finish on all kinds of things.

Unless the TTS-8000 just needs light cosmetic work it's just not worth the effort of a full restoration.  They were an early effort by Sony to try and capture the low-end of the professional market.  Most were sold to consumers.

I have restored 3-4 of these for customers over the years and IMO they're just not that great.  Looks - good.  Build quality - OK.  Ease of finding replacement parts - poor.  Sound quality, once restored - OK but not great.

Unless you are in love with this model I would look for something else as a restoration project: TD-124, 301/401, Lenco, Rek-O-Kut or EMT.  All of these will provide a better final result and reward for your efforts.

The YouTube videos contrary to my skepticism were quite good @millercarbon . @br3098 I am surprised what you say about the deck. As it happens I am also restoring a jvc tt101. I am going to sell my emt950 project as I have no space left for it - it really needs a specialist to do the work unfortunately as well

parrotbee, I just never felt that this deck was worth the (any) amount of effort required to get it into operational and salable condition.  YMMV
