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

I am putting together my TTS8000 for a plinth etc.

The electrics work perfectly well, but the aluminium parts f the platter look a tad oxidised - I assume that's coz I got it from a man in Hong Kong and I understand its hot and humid there.

I just want the thing to look great as well.

With that in mind have any of you restored a strobed platter successfully and if so - how?

I have to disagree with the comment above that the TTS 8000 is not worth the effort to make it look nice, clearly you have not heard one well enough set up as they can beat so many TT's around, vintage or modern. I use mine daily, and never think of changing for anything supposedly better as I know it would be money wasted.
