Greetings, I recently acquired an rx 5050, and the channels aren't balanced. The right channel sounds great, but the left channel is weak. I want to get this bad boy running healthy again, but I can't find access to a schematic. Does anyone have a schematic for the rx 5050? I managed to...

Hello, newbie here. I was browsing eBay months ago when I wanted to try and find the boombox I had gotten as a kid for Christmas ('85 I believe0. I found it, which was a Panasonic RX5025. i used to prank my friend by recording our goofy conversations, and I still have the Memorex tape to this...

Hello everyone. I've been lurking and educating myself for a few months, and decided it was finally time to register. I think I'm just about ready to purchase my first box since the little Panasonic RX-4920 I had as a kid, and I would like to ask your opinions before I pull the trigger...

Here are some new additions... Member Fresh Produce hooked me up with this really clean Lasonic TRC-931 3rd generation. Although I have never really had much interest in this model, it does have the LBS feature like the 975 and it hits pretty hard. It's also now 100% working. I picked up...

Recently, I heard a radio commercial of an upcoming dance that was to be a 1970s, 80s & 90s Prom theme. When I heard the "80s" part, I immediately started thinking of how cool it would be to have My boxes on display there to add to the 80s experience. Attendees were encouraged to wear Prom...

Hello to all! I am a new member and this is my first post. I discovered this forum when I Googled "RX-DT680" and found the line-in mod for this wonderful box. I bought my 680 brand new in 1990, I think. I pampered it and loved using it as my main CD player. Eventually I was able to buy...

Hi All, I received a Panasonic RX-CS700 today and the FM stereo reception is behaving rather oddly. There is full stereo reception along the full length of the FM band and the 'FM Stereo' light indicates stereo reception throughout the full length of the band BUT, whenever any & all FM...

Sourced on eBay UK, this tidy little BB cost me the grand total of £0.99p plus £5.60 P+P so I couldn't give it a miss even though the description was a little short on words: "......The radio works and the tape will rewind and fastforward but struggles to play"..... was just about all I had to...

Not have the technical expertise of Ye Wise Ones of this forum I did an internet search to identify the part I now know as a 'leaf switch'. Setting about a clean up and resto of a Panasonic RX-C36 I found the leaf switch to be loose. (At this stage I do not know if this is/was a contributing...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and it's been a very long time since I've owned a boombox, but I just received a great Panasonic RX-5080 off eBay. Unfortunately, it's not working perfectly and I'm not experienced enough to troubleshoot it. Basically, the tape will play, but then it looks like...

How can a trip to the dump be exciting you may ask, dump and exciting aren't words typically used in the same sentence. Well when you find an old radio poking out of the rubble it starts to get interesting. When you dig it out and find out its a classic blaster it gets exciting! Actually it...

Hello folks, I'm nightwheel. I wish my first post here could be something less annoying, but sometimes things don't happen the way people wishes it could. Anyways, to the problem at hand. I picked up a Panasonic RX-5085 from a yard sale for $10. Everything on it seems to work fine except for...

Hello, Im glad to apart of this forum, as I recently got back into the cassette game, and building my collections as we speak! I have a Panasonic RX-5050 which I've had for some years now and I love it to death..just recently I have noticed the tape deck has been playing tapes a lot slower than...

Hey everyone, I finally found the time to at least take a quick shot of my newest gem, the National Panasonic RX-5350, which I got all the way from Brazil from member hardmen :w00t: He got my RX-A2 in return :-) The picture shows the N/P 5350 together with the National 5350 which has already...

It was Springtime in 1981 and I was a poor medical student barely scraping by when I came upon a WINDFALL - my grandmother gave me $300 to "buy something nice" for myself. I had coveted the Panny boomboxes for a while and remember going to a huge electronics store in New Jersey with my...

Hello everyone, I picked up a Panasonic RX CT-810 at a thrift store around two years ago as my first boombox and it has been literally my pride and joy. I bring it everywhere I go with mixtapes me and my friends make. Recently however I have run into issues with the attached speakers. When the...

So for a while, I've had a problem with this Panasonic RX-5050 boombox I have. I suspect the issue lies in the cassette head somewhere. Whenever I press the play button, it makes a very loud noise that sounds somewhat like an explosion or a thunderstorm, and a faint hum can be heard in the...

Sorry guys - no pretty "ooh-aah" pictures here. :no: I wanted to post this just to give everyone an idea as to what's going on inside this behemoth. It's not mine - I'm repairing it for a friend and fellow member. I wanted to know what I'd be in for if I took the project on, but I couldn't find...
