It ain't easy.... being GZ!

I'm paying back a debt to this GZ guy for saving my C100 from damage I did to it :

https://boomboxery.com/forum/index.php/topic/19086-how-to-totally-ruin-your-c100-cassette-door/?hl=%2Bruin+%2Bdoor



He has some excellent blasters but they all need TLC to make them sound right and function enough to have clear reliable listening.



Because he helped me with that C100 door I felt obligated to pick up a couple loads of his blasters to do a little detoxing, cleaning, antennas, repairs, and some bonus upgrades.



On this list:
- Clairtone 20/20 (antennas, tear down for deox) DONE!
- JVC RC-M70 (OG antennas/bases, tear down for deox, FM button broke, missing handle mount, screws missing, + bonus) DONE!
- Clairtone C100 (dead, complete board swap?) NEXT
- Sharp GF-777 (tear down for deox)
- Realistic SCR-8 (maybe - not sure what for)
- Toshiba S90 (maybe - for broken deck door, deox)



So far I was able to get the 20/20 and M70 rocking again and added some LEDs to the M70 VUs. They are on all the time when the box is powered on, but then turn off when you hold down the dial lamp button and the dial lamp turns on.


Some pics!


20/20









M70

Go get em Joe!

Coolness!

I just read this thread the other day looking for stuff on cleaning that door and oh my god. I couldn't believe it.

Stunning detailing work!

i say its easy to be GZ

Some serious high volume production you got going there. Nice work!

Your a good man Joe. and yes, I still owe you a beer!

I still can't believe he's doing this. Joe is a fn rock star.

Joe is unstoppable! Excellent work man...

I didn't realise those Clairtone boxes were so big - bigger than an M70!

Got my boomers back!
Met Joe at Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee today....I have know idea if he made it home safe. One does not usually leave the LB tour in driving condition.
What can I say about this guy that all of you don't already know. He's just a selfless standup guy. Can't thank him enough for getting these bad boys back to working order.
They sound absolutely amazing.
The 20/20 has never sounded this good. Its unbelievable. The m70 sound is absolutely amazing. And how about those beautiful blue LEDs....he just did those on his own...didn't even ask for them. Who does **** like that!?
Thanks again Joe, you've made my year! Its like I just got two new boomers!
I know my payment probably wasn't enough but theres gonna be plenty more of that next time....and whatever else you want.
Give this man Legend status!

Kick A$$!!! Those "blu" LED's are PROPER!

Made it back safe, no problem!


Thanks for the props. Sometimes its the small gestures that can really make someones day or even their year! I'll keep crack'n on the next one and you keep rock'n with those. Thanks for the liquid bonus broski!

Now, onto the beast. The mega beast. The Master of BLASTERS!


Clairtone C100


Powers on, but otherwise totally dead .


Hopefully some of these replacement parts I gathered for you will get this blaster blasting again . There aren't Belgian Biscuits in this box

C100 TLC! Wonderful!

I have no hope for my Hundo. I think its done. Good luck, Joe!

Man, if I have to rig it to just play polka music 24/7, it will be blasting something!!!

Great job Joe!! That's very kind!😎🎵🎶💳📟🎼
