Hi everyone-I finally got into the M-50 today and succesfully removed the back circuit board without much trouble.
I oiled the motor as it was squeaking and It's much better now and I also cleaned the pulleys but as I got everything back together I found this little nylon bushing that goes on the idler wheel or the brown wheel that has the spring inside.
Now after getting this thing back together it's much better and is a little faster but still at about 95% speed.
I'm going to have to get into it again tomorrow and put this bushing back on the wheel and I hope I can figure where it goes on that wheel assembly but I'm sure i can figure it out.
The bushing is on the last photo on top so you can see it.
It's really alot better but I still don't know if there is a speed adjustment on this thing(the motor).
I didn't take the motor out as I didn't feel it was necessary at this time.
It doesn't sqeak anymore which is good.
Any suggestions to get this thing back to perfect speed?
I know with the bushing in there it might help a bit but thaty wheel spins pretty freely so I'm not sure that will help speed when I put it back.
As you know I love this boombox and I'm really hoping to get to perfect.
I also found part of the broken antenna shaft thing so I can get it back a little better around the antenna shaft to get one in there.
Have a great weekend-GB.
