    Japanese Victor RC M70 repair

    I read through this older forum pertaining to powering the M70, a lot of useful information there. https://www.boomboxery.com/forum/threads/rc-m70-12vdc-jack.29367/#post-368227 This would mean using either a 12v AD to DC wall wart adapter OR a step-down to 100v through AC-in should work for...

    Japanese Victor RC M70 repair

    ...and I'm in the US, where our grid is based on 120v. This Japanese model also lacks a voltage selector usually found on the side of the other M70's from other regions. Now keeping in mind I'm not very well versed in electric power supply/load etc which is why I'm reaching out to you more...

    Japanese Victor RC M70 repair

    Second post on this site, today I put in ten d-cell batteries (which seems like insanity to me) into my Victor RC M70 to finally try it out, but it makes loud obnoxious popping and cracking sounds when anything is even gently adjusted. Power indicator and dial lamps work fine otherwise. I really...

    JVC m90 vs Victor m90

    ...the VU meters swing to the same level on these listening tests. The volume on both boxes set at 4. I think there is a similar difference in the M70 boxes. The 'overseas' models come in two different power ratings by W at the back. The Japanese domestic version is of the lower rated one. In...

    Help finding parts for Victor RC-M70

    Hey guys, new to this forum site, just purchased a Japanese JVC RC-M70 as the title implies, but it is missing the front fascia cover over the cassette door, any idea where I can find a replacement? I looked on eBay to no avail. Any recommendations are appreciated.

    eBay UK Boombox and Walkman price drops, eBay scraps sellers fees in UK Oct 2024.

    They trailed this in Germany earlier in the year and now it's here so maybe. I think it's in response to a service which is popular in Europe called Vinted, which now allows the sale of electronics, think they were eating ebays lunch as the seller is charged no service fees.

    eBay UK Boombox and Walkman price drops, eBay scraps sellers fees in UK Oct 2024.

    No final sales fees? I'll have to see if ebay US is considering that. I was watching a JVC M70 on ebay last week, and it sold for only $260 USD. I was quite shocked.

    Distorted and low volume with line in on Hitachi 8190E

    You've got me thinking now. I'll try this, thank you.

    Distorted and low volume with line in on Hitachi 8190E

    ...out on two pins (like youre unplugging a smartphone from the stereo, but the stereo isn't switched off- bzzzzzzztztztzzzzzztztztt) your hitachi is able to direct line in. The same as the JVC M70 L (european- Din, but no line) and JVC M70 JW (USA and other countries- real RCA jack with line in)

    JVC RC-838 Repair Balance Treble/Bass Sliders

    I've repaired slider boards on the JVC RC-M70 and the RC-M838 for many members over the past decades with good results. Usually folks send just the slider board to me which on the M70 is fairly easy to remove, but on the 838, it's removal is rather delicate and easy to damage both the slider...

    Help identifying this box. Bit of a challenge unless you had one.

    An m70 has way more inputs on the side. It doesn't look deep enough to be a tv boom box, then again never had a tv boombox. The two labels on the back might be a clue. Don't see that often

    Beginner Needing Guidance

    Maybe I am biased, but I would think a properly working JVC M70 could be had for around 500. Probably not going to find one mint for 500, especially on eBay, but IMO eBay prices are way inflated. The important thing to note on these are the alps slider controls. You would want to ensure they are...

    Beginner Needing Guidance

    Thanks for the insightful answer. Hypothetically, could I switch out the woofers in the lasonic to a more crisp and high quality option whilst keeping the same shell? Ik it probably is a lot of work but I love the looks of them. Truly, my priority is sound quality. That’s why I own tekton and...

    Beginner Needing Guidance

    ...near the level of boomboxes that were released by large mainstream manufacturers — one peek inside will reveal this. If you can find a jvc rc-m70 for that price, that would be a great starting point but it won’t have the visual attraction of the Lasonic. This may sound like I’m bashing the...

    I will start looking around for a strap and a light kit if you actually want to part with a working M70

    JVC m90 vs Victor m90

    ...a version that is very dark gray. The factory description is that these are urethane laminated cones. They are blue paper cones (like on the M70) but they have a urethane plastic layer that is bonded with the paper on the front side, presumably for better weather protection and improved...

    ...in the late 2000s with a lot of the guys on here. And I think I have quite a few of the grails. I don't have a working Discolite, or most of the BomBeats, or any 3-pieces other than a Fisher 492 somewhere that's far from mint. But, I suppose if someone wanted a M70, or a 931, I'd probably...

    Wanted JVC M70

    The US boxes have the Aux In, while for most models including m70, the Europe versions have Din In - which I'm not sure can work just with a cable adaptor if you want to plug in your phone / laptop / sound card. The Japanese boxes can be imported for a lower overall price but they have FM only...
