    My first restoration project - Conion C-100F

    I picked this up on eBay for $350 a few weeks ago and getting ready to bring it back to its glory days. Overall the unit works very well with the only major issue being Tape 2 not working at all. Here is my initial list........ Mechanically/Electronically... There is a broken RCA pin stuck in...

    New Lower Cassette Drawers (Part II)

    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...

    New Lower Cassette Drawers

    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...

    Introduction: Conion 100F

    Hello All, I've been watching this forum for awhile and I just decided to join. I'm not really a collector, more like someone who looks at boomboxes on eBay and wishes I was rich and could just buy all of them. However, I do have a nice Conion C-100F. I found it on Craigslist and drove several...

    Tape 1 Belt Routing

    Hi All, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a diagram for the correct belt routing for the lower deck (Tape 1) on a Conion C-100F. I just rebelted mine with the recommended belts, but upon testing it, it's obvious that I did something wrong. Here is what is happening: - Deck plays...

    Clairtone 7980 "Oh god dear god why didn't you package me properly!?" restoration

    I haven't been touching boomboxes for a while, but recently I started working on one of my project boxes; a clairtone 7980 I bought 3 years ago. This box looks great, but it suffered some damage from poor packaging because one corner set against the side of the box despite my explicit request to...

    Conion C100 cassette door project

    Ahhhhh the sacred C100 cassette door. It's about as rare as the spare tape tray. I've been dreaming of piles of doors lately... a heaping mountain of them. Why are they always missing... and where do they all end up? It's kinda like the mystery of the missing socks. :lol: I’ve given up...

    All that's left - Edited -

    All that's left. Slimmed down my box collection. These are the last 4 that I am keeping for a while. Stacking all these looked cool but then I started to feel concerned for the feet on the Gold Conion. After the pic they were taken down. Got em out for Spring and the Summer. Ready to blast and...

    Gold Conion in Use

    Not sure if anyone would want to see this but I decided to get out my Gold Conion C100F. I know these are rare but that doesn't stop me from using it all the time. I take it outside when washing the car and just about anywhere I don't feel it will be put in jeopardy :-) That's what they're for...

    spare drawer dimensions & pictures

    Could someone be so kind and take hi-res detailed & focused pictures of all angles of the spare tape drawer and post a link to them? I'm trying to come up with a 3D design for one, but lacking one I have to do some guesswork going off of blurry small pictures found here and there. What shots do...
