Hello, This is the only photo I've been able to locate of my 80's childhood boombox. Wondering if anybody has a clue on a brand or model of this. I know it was dual cassette and I think the speakers were detachable. Other than I got it during the 80's, I don't remember much about it. Thanks.

I just pulled my CFD-565 from the attic. Its been up there for many years. It was absolutely filthy and all I've done so far was clean it up a little so I don't catch some disease while working on it! The radio works great. I plugged in a BT receiver through the mixing mic port on the back...

I've been working on a pair of boomboxes and have run into this issue in both instances. I'll try to describe as concise as possible the issue in one to keep it simple and maybe I can replicate any possible solutions in the other. Hitachi TRK-8080MKII National (Panasonic) RX-5100 (japanese...

I recently purchased a Sharp 777. Works, but one speaker is deformed (still plays okay) and another has tear at surround. I want to repair and recone the original speakers or purchase replacements. Does anyone know of a recone kit that fits the outer full-range speakers and look like originals...

Hey yall Very new to electronic work, this is my first project. I bought a boombox presumably from the 90s and I am trying to put in an aux chord. I see many videos and instructions on replacing the cassette input to aux input but I would like to keep my cassette player. I see instructions on...

Hello! I've recently caught the bug for old boomboxes are purchased a Lasonic TRC-931. It seems like the only thing wrong with it is that the antennas are at the top. Do I have to purchase specific antennas as a replacement? I saw replacement antennas on amazon for sale, but they did not...
