Hello, this is my first post. I decided to have a crack at replacing the belt on Vz-v2, which I have recently bought. Unfortunately, the wheel for the linear tracking has seen better days. Wondered if anyone had any advice on replacements or fixes? I've glued it at the moment, but I don't have...

I have a Sharp GF-A1 and A2 and on both the cassette eject part is broken. I have attached a photo of the part in question. It's actually broken and super-glued but I have ZERO confidence that this will hold. Does anyone know a source for these parts, perhaps a 3D printed version? I need...

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...

Greetings everyone. This is my first post so please do not judge. I am now restoring my boombox I got from a friend a couple of years ago. In the first picture you can see it in the condition, that it was when I got it. Due to the fact that I am an absolute newbie on that whole boombox thing...

When my 777 came back from the repair shop it had an issue with a weak rewind and was a bit noisy. Pulled out the mech and ran it outside the enclosure without issues. However now when it is reassembled the Rew and FF are almost stuck and the capstans seem to be rubbing on the casing. For the...

Hello, I've been tearing my hair out on a VZ-2500 for days. I need your help : Side A does not read the vinyl, The stylus is positioned correctly on the beginning of the LP or EP. Then the stylus continues its journey until the end of the vinyl without reading it. The new stylus is in good...

Hi - am looking for the control panel door/flap for a Sharp VZ-3000 (the door under the cassette compartment). Happy to pay for it and postage to Sydney, Australia.

Hey fellow boombox enthusiasts! This is my first post here. Quite happy to have found a place where people are still passionate about boomboxes from way back when. So I’ll jump right into it… I have a gorgeous Sharp GF-800 that I bought a few years ago. I’m trying to restore it to...

Has someone connected an amplifier and passive subwoofer to the line out? Only see posts using a powered subwoofer. Please confirm this will work. Thanks!

I recently purchased a Sharp 777. Works, but one speaker is deformed (still plays okay) and another has tear at surround. I want to repair and recone the original speakers or purchase replacements. Does anyone know of a recone kit that fits the outer full-range speakers and look like originals...

Added this mint Sharp VZ-2500 to my collection today. Looks great with a picture disc. Sound quality is not superb. Lack of bass. But okay.

Picked this beast up today. Case looks great, it's all there and fairly clean. I cleaned the tape heads and rollers, decks will need new belts though both play (I've got new belts ordered). Needs the usual stuff, cleaning of all switches and pots, new belts, got the azimuth dialed in on Deck 2...
