Hi guys! First up I gotta say what a great forum you have going here with some quality boxes on show, most of which I have never seen before. Being born in 1966 boomboxes, breakdancing and bodypopping were big when I was in my teens and I had a lovely sharp that I so wish I'd have kept but unfortunately this got played to death and then one day dumped
A few years ago my younger brother was going to dump his old (he'd had it from new) pioneer 909L that he had totally lost interest in. The tape deck wasn't working and he hadn't gotten round to having it fixed so I said I would take it of him and see what I could do. That was about three years ago and what with having such a busy life it sat in my loft and I haven't got round to attempting to fix this until now. Everything else on the box is working great and although the box has a few battle scars it's still in good shape and sounding good.
My uneducated guess is that the belts need changing on the tape deck. Sometimes when a tape is in the deck it will turn very slightly and then stop but most of the time when I press play nothing happens!!!
Can any of you knowledgeable dudes help me out with some advice on what belts I need and how I go about changing them.
Many thanks. Paul
