    GPO Brooklyn Speaker Fault

    Hello all, new member as I found a GPO Brooklyn Boombox that reminded me of my youth. It came without a charger so I bought a replacement with suitable voltage, amps and power. The boombox lights up, offers the option of radio, tape, CD and bluetooth but it has no sound. I've tried...

    Restoration of my Sharp GF-767-H, help needed!

    Greetings everyone. This is my first post so please do not judge. I am now restoring my boombox I got from a friend a couple of years ago. In the first picture you can see it in the condition, that it was when I got it. Due to the fact that I am an absolute newbie on that whole boombox thing...

    Requesting crossover recommendations for broken D8443 rebuild

    Hello, I’m getting ready to rebuild an old broken D8443. My question is about speaker crossovers. I am likely overthinking this. I know the box is not a perfect enclosure, so this may take some trial and error based on my listening preference. Since stereo separation is not really a concern...

    Help For The Ignorant Needed With Speaker Selection!

So............ I recently acquired a Pioneer SX-450 Receiver/Amp, Pioneer CT-F700 Cassette Deck and a Pioneer...

    Choosing Acoustic Foam For BB Speakers

    Hi All, I'm looking trying to improve the sound quality of the speakers in some of my three-piece boxes, mainly those at the lower end of the cost spectrum(!), to reduce the 'hollow plastic' sound that is often an unwanted feature of these speakers. In most cases, the speaker boxes are of a...

    Panasonic RX-C36L - Gettin' Down On It!

    Sourced on eBay UK, this tidy little BB cost me the grand total of £0.99p plus £5.60 P+P so I couldn't give it a miss even though the description was a little short on words: "......The radio works and the tape will rewind and fastforward but struggles to play"..... was just about all I had to...

    Sharp GF-A2H(BR) - Rollin' My Sleeves Up (Again!)

    Here we go again! So then, a £10 fare being duly paid, I've provided a permanent home to a forlorn little chap called Sharp GF-A2H(BR) for the duration. The young chap as he arrived: At first glance this little gem appears to be in a reasonable condition, radio works fine, tape head...

    Hitachi TRK-8130E (#2) - Getting On With It!

    Well, I thought, there's no time like the present so today I decided to take a BIG step. I'd once confided in a friend about this and she said: "If you're going to do it, take precautions, don't rush and don't get yourself too excited too soon because the first time will be an experience you'll...

    Hitachi TRK-8130E - Rough Sounding/'Blown' Speakers?

    Hi, All. My 2nd Hitachi TRK-8130E has speakers that sound very 'rough' and somewhat muffled. One speaker isn't too bad but the other one is quite bad. As a beginner, this is new to me and the only 'test' I could think of was to check/compare the sound through headphones. The TRK-8130E has an...

    eBay feedback query, how would you handle this?..

    Right then, so today, the speakers I bought for my recently acquired JVC 5-piece box arrived. Thing is, they arrived in perfect condition but more by luck than any skill on the part of the breaker who sold them in the art of packing securely. Inside the Citylink bag were two envelopes, one pair...

    Check out my Aiwa CS-J88 - FULLY RESTORED with help from Floyd! [PIC HEAVY]

    First of all, big thanks to Floyd on this restoration. He is truly the man. He refoamed the speakers and passive reflector months ago and then came to the rescue when I couldn't get the deck working. I've sent a few things his way in exchange but there's no way to repay him for being such a...
