    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...

    The Robot! He sounds good.

    Sometime back, I was fortunate enough to find a Pioneer Disco Robo J-7. Some of you can find them in the trash where you live, but here in USA, they are like unicorns or Loch Ness, or Sasquatch... rumored to exist, people talk about them but no one has ever seen one. Well I did, and I bit...

    Sony TC-FX311 cassette deck recording problem

    I have a Sony TC-FX311 deck that records only on the right channel. It plays great and when recording the VU meters for both sides light up as they should. When monitoring a recording with headphones plugged into the deck I can hear both channels as well, this would seem to rule out problems...

    Hitachi TRK-8130E (#2) - Getting On With It!

    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...
