NOTE: I posted this same thing on the main page of Tech Talk before realizing there were Sub-Forums. I am not meaning to over-post or whatever. Just trying to get it in the right place I have both a GF-A1 and A2. They are essentially identical but the A2 has a graphic equalizer. Unbelievably...

I have both a GF-A1 and A2. They are essentially identical but the A2 has a graphic equalizer. Unbelievably, these two machines, purchased on eBay from different people and from different states, have the same exact problem. I posted another thread because the play/FF gear was extremely stiff...

i recently got a ivc m50, I noticed the tape speed is a little slow. Is the a speed ajustment pot on the motor? or do i have to replace the belts? Right now it is fully functional even the track skipping feature on the cassette deck.

Hi All, I have an issue with the slip clutch on a cassette deck take up pulley. The felt disk type. I have tried a few things to make a replacement but it is still not great and slips too easily causing some tapes to jam. Anyone have any suggestions on what is the best material to make a...

I'm new to the forum, but I can feel myself quickly becoming a collector. I picked up an M9935k at an estate sale for $5 last year, and since then it has traveled everywhere with me, and gotten many compliments. It was in excellent condition, however I was devastated when it got dropped a...

Good news and bad news. We have fixed the flat trim to look pretty good. Also, we've installed a metal rear pin which is an improvement over the original. The drawer itself is much stronger than original drawers and so they should take a lot more wear and tear. The bad news is that the front...

So I bought my Conion C-100 boombox nearly two years ago. It didn't have the lower cassette drawer. For whatever reason, I figure the best way to get one was to make my own. The 3D printing technology was getting there and the shapes seemed pretty basic but the more I learned about it the more I...

Poland's Artur Mlynarz collects, repairs and restores classic hi-fi equipment. Sometimes though, units come in that are beyond help. Wanting to bring new life to vintage cassette decks, he mounted a smartphone into a broken player, and the MP3 Tapeless Deck Project soon followed. Now he has old...

So I FINALLY bought myself a Napa cassette holder. I decided on the 64 cassette holder. After digging through some closets, drawers, and boxes, I loaded her up FULLY. To my surprise I filled her up and still have a handful of cassettes that will need to go back into hiding. I should have...

The radio is crap, but the deck is full logic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mYoi3uJEi0

Hi, I'm new to this forum, looks like some helpful folk out there. I've just acquired a JVC RV-B55 bb, which has a tape deck problem. Insert a tape, press play, just get a few clicks - same with autoreverse. FF and RW do nothing. Usually the door locks, and I have to power down and wait before...

Hey guys I have been hard at work making some 80's mixes for the Canadian meet up this weekend, and wanted to share the link so everyone can enjoy them. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5m8wlfpb9b6njfo/AACSkamz2X77tRvuQtZ7QVy0a?dl=0 I put a mix up every day or so lately. Let me know your feedback or...

1. My PC-V2 had two missing cassette deck operating levers, both lever sections had been snapped off at the base and replacing them would require replacing the whole lever assemblies therefore needing spares from .....somewhere at .....sometime....... 2. The spring retaining .....I...

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...

Hello All- My Telefunken Studio 1M cassette deck plays/FF/RR very slowly. I opened her up which took some time (if anyone wants specific photos please ask) and have had a look. Here are some questions I have...which should help me have her up and running!! 1. My pinch roller may be dirty...

Hello, I am looking for some help with an issue i am having with my Hitachi TRK-7100E. It seems to be a right channel/speaker issue. Sound will come through both speakers in radio mode for AM/FM. But when i try to play a cassette tape i get only sound through the left speaker, when i try to...

A cassette single is a music single in the form of a Compact Cassette. Some singles contained one song on each side, much as 45s had done, but others repeated the songs on both sides. In some markets, cassette singles generally used the same packaging as standard cassettes, a plastic box with a...
