    Sony CFD-775 new pickup!

    Hello Boombox community, just just picked up a rare gem (IMO), Sony CFD-775 from eBay. I always wanted one of these as kid, couldn't afford it, Sony was asking damn near $500 for them back in 1990. They had a nice feature set for its time, hi-speed cd-dubbing, full logic auto-reverse decks...

    CFD-565

    I just pulled my CFD-565 from the attic. Its been up there for many years. It was absolutely filthy and all I've done so far was clean it up a little so I don't catch some disease while working on it! The radio works great. I plugged in a BT receiver through the mixing mic port on the back...

    Odd AC power connector on Sony CF-550A: Can anyone help me identify it?

    I've just taken delivery of a slightly grubby, but otherwise tidy-looking Sony CF-550A. Unfortunately it wasn't supplied with a power lead, and it uses an unusual connector. Instead of the usual 2-pin IEC connector it has a small 3-pin connector (see photo attached), similar in shape to an IEC...

    A mere week before closing the deal for the Sanyo MX-820… There are many local thrift shops and flea markets around the Campania region where I live and I have posted pictures and videos of some of the radio’s I have found and passed on. Most are entry level boxes and most have been well...

    The EX2000 from...duh 2000 is an update of the EX900...and considered to be the LAST "high end" walkman released. And the EX921 is the last of the EX line, released in 2001. I realize these aren't the "classic" walkman's... as I just happen to like the EX line and will continue to add to...

    Sony CFS-4000 ~ One Speaker Too Quiet?

    Just tested out my recently purchased Sony CFS-4000. Everything works great, however any speaker connected to the right channel sounds incredibly quiet. Obviously the volume improves if the equalizer is maxed out, but throws of speaker balance. Any suggestions? The left channel works fine, the...

    Your Mail-In Repair Experience?

    The Introduction Hi, folks. I'm trying to get my JVC RC-M50JW repaired. It's had a "sluggish" cassette deck almost every moment of use since early October 2015, following my ordering it -- in what seemed to be fair to good condition -- from an L.A.-based eBay seller late in the previous month...

    Hello guys, a few days ago I got this boombox from Sony, apparently a Japanese one. It's my first one and it's called "Tryzee FX-400". The problem is, I can't find anything about it on the internet, apart from some pictures. No service manual, nothing. It obviously needs some work. The handle...
