Blockbuster Head fix

[sparkletron]

Hello, I have a SR2100 sears boom box that has the same Funai based mechanism as the GE Blockbuster. It is suffering from the broken head bracket. I noticed that @caution had created a 3D printed part.

Unfortunately, the shapeways market is long since gone, and cannot be accessed.

Has this been hosted on a new service?

Is the STL available to those who have 3D printers capable of at least ABS?

Thanks for anyone who responds.

I think I might have one left.... I'll have to see if I can find it.

Ok, to the fella that was looking for one of these, I found a couple more. If you still need one, send me a PM.

Awesome, but it looks like the forum doesn't allow private messages frow new accounts? I assume I haven't posted enough to activate that feature. At least the message tab does not give me the option, neither does viewing your profile.

I believe it works if they send you a message first, then you can interact.

Got the part and finished the repair. Still have some issues with the playback cam engaging, but its good enough for now.

Thanks again for the parts!

Now to fix the vu meter cover.
