    Need belt for RX-5005

    Last year I picked up a 5005 at a garage sale for $5, and to my surprise it ran perfectly (the seller threw in another newer boombox, that wound up being junk, so really I got it for $2.50). It ran fine until a couple days ago when the belt snapped just after starting a tape. I checked Ebay and...

If so, how hard are those motors to come by? I'm trying to decide whether to repair or just do some kind...

    An "Egg" In Some Trouble

    My Panasonic RX-DT75 has run into some trouble. My efforts to get it to play a probably bootleg copy of the 1996 seasonal album This Is Christmas by Luther Vandross have* made a mess of its electronics. The laser pickup (or "focusing platform") is now somehow stuck. I hear a slight clicking...
