I recently have been playing tapes and using FM radio on my Panasonic Rx-C45 and it wasn’t quite what I thought as it was a little weak & or muddy. So I knew about those speaker contacts and I cleaned them up nicely and also cleaned the deck really good.Pinch Roller was very dirty.
So now I’m hearing highs and lows that I’ve never heard before in this radio!! Plus it’s just way better and louder, what a difference cleaning those contacts did!! Plus it’s on batteries with about 50-60% power so yes I’m very pleased!! Bass is quite good on these especially at lower volumes!! Great units,will get a 50 and a 100 someday.

Thanks Floyd,yes that should have been obvious,I’ll try that,yes I don’t use AM much at all so if doesn’t work-I don’t care. I get some normal background static but not pulling in any stations.
Yes I love this little unit,those speaker connectors do get dirty. Man what a difference after I cleaned it all up!! Deck to.😊😎🎶🎼📻

Good idea Floyd! I have about 1/2 boxes but the other 52?! Oh well I have some cleaning and boxing to do myself. I even wrap a bath towel in the box. But some of my displayed ones I do have a folded bath towel(usually all Navy Blue) on top to prevent to much dust and cover the sliders or pots.😊📻

Easiest thing to do Jeff is wrap the box in a trash bag and tape the end closed that way it looks great whenever you want to use it.

I use the Honda pro shine on the boxes its the best thing in the world and it even smells great.

That’s not a bad idea but I usually write down on the box what Boombox is inside. I figure with me displaying 1/2 my collection I’m doing pretty good. I love looking at them and yes I need to cover them up a little better. Yes and use them and rotate them as well. I still think I have to many and I’ve sold 75 over the years,I’m down to about 105-110 but then again-who’s counting?! It’s all about the fun & the variety!😊😎🎶🎼📻
