Hello everyone, I'm new member from Turkey. i need your help on some issues for my newly purchased boombox. I saw this boombox while visiting the dealers in my area. It has some problems, I don't understand the repair business at all, but the price was so cheap that I didn't want to miss it...

Does anybody have a remote for sale for a hitachi trk 8600 perdisco? Thanks

Hi all I am new to this forum have have already had some great advice from several members which has helped me on the way. I have started on a complete restoration of an Hitachi TRK-8290e and wanted to track the progress. Hopefully some will find this of interest and maybe some items may be of...

Hi All, Noob to this forum but not to tapes, tape decks and boom boxes. But my knowledge of Hitachi boom boxes doesn't extend to knowing if the same type of switches are used on different models of TRK. Are the Bias, EQ, Meter, Dolby switch levers on the 8190E the same as the ones used on the...

As many of you may know, last Saturday the 9th International Boombox Meeting was held in Dessau. That was also the release date for the 2019 Boombox Calendar! Thanks to everyone who preordered or already bought one at the Meeting! The feedback so far has been amazing and really backs up the...

So yesterday, I came across this Hitachi unit and it looks as if it has been out in a shed for a few too many years. Anyway, I am trying to get a scan of the service manual, dose anyone have it as a PDF, a copy would be great. I did have a few questions: What is the safest way to clean the...

Hey guys, just got home to check out my newly acquired Hitachi TRK-8200HR. Came in Wednesday but I just made it home tonight and cleaned it up 😂. Here are a couple pics. Whatcha guys think? I feel as though I wanna get the entire TRK line someday... Especially the select few of this...

Hello! My name is Fran and I'm from Argentina. I introduce to you my new Hitachi J3 (circa 1984). These pictures show how well preserved the machine is. Also, I haven't cleaned it already. I want to gain a little more knowledge before doing something wrong or permanently ruin it. Of course, any...

This is my first full boombox restoration. This Hitachi model is a lower end model, but the build quality is quite good (if you omit the awful speaker grills and the speakers). It feels quite sturdy and has some weight too. The handle gives a very good quality impression similar to a Sharp...

Sound seems to be ok when i select radio and dubbing on the select switch when i move switch to tape and cd line in the sound is very quiet. Now if i move the switch half way between radio and cd line in i start to get...

Fellow Boomboxers, I desparately need your help. As a teenager I had and loved a 8190E. I recently purchased one to rekindle that affair and as usual the tape deck isn't operational. Actions Taken: Three new belts purchased from Germany; Downloaded Hitachi service manual ($4.99 from...

Does anyone know where I could get a free Hitachi TRK 8300E Manual online? Thanks.

Hey guys, A few might know me from my thread about the repair of my hissing Hitachi 3d7. Now that the problem is (hopefully) finally found, I can start with the 'modernization' of this boombox. I know there already are many bluetooth built-in projects, but I've found none where one uses a...

Hello, I recently bought a hitachi 3d7 MKII from ebay, it is in great state: everything works and it looks amazing, scratches are hard to be found. I'm going to install a bluetooth module and a lipo battery (while keeping it original, of course). When I received it, I noticed all sliders were...

Hello I have got a Hitachi TRK 9100E which seems to have a much quieter right speaker. This seems to be on both radio , tape and other functions. I have looked on this forum and found similar issues which suggest the controls may need cleaning however in my case my headphones are perfectly...

HI I used to have a GF-9191, bought it when I worked at Sharp Electronics circa 1980! ... like a fool threw it away. Going to an 80s themed convention in summer and on a whim decided to buy a cheap old boombox as a prop then felt pangs of nostalgia for the 9191! I've just bought a TRK8130 from...

Hello there, I am trying to repair the frequency wire in my cx-w800 box. The problem is I cannot figure out how to wire it together again. I think I tried all combinations and it just doesnt want to work. I have attached a picture. I dont know how to properly wire up the gold knob shaft, as the...
