tape

Hi everyone! New here after doing some research and seeing what a cool community this is. My grandparents had a store in the 60-90’s that sold electronics. I still have many SANYO, PANASONIC, TRIDENT Boomboxes and cassette players which I’ve been selling individually on EBay. 99.9% of the items...

hi I have a sharp vz 2000 the problem I have is that I changed all the belts in the unit, and now plays like it should, but it won't record anymore, do I have to put everything back like the two half's as I've only tried it through headphones and tried to record from the radio ive left it in two...

i recently got a ivc m50, I noticed the tape speed is a little slow. Is the a speed ajustment pot on the motor? or do i have to replace the belts? Right now it is fully functional even the track skipping feature on the cassette deck.

Hi to all! My name is John , i could say that i am new to collecting an restoring boomboxes and my technical knowledge on fixing problems is rather on the amateur side. So i could use a little help with a jvc pc 168. The problem is the following: i bought the aforementioned boombox from a...

Hi, I'm new to this forum, looks like some helpful folk out there. I've just acquired a JVC RV-B55 bb, which has a tape deck problem. Insert a tape, press play, just get a few clicks - same with autoreverse. FF and RW do nothing. Usually the door locks, and I have to power down and wait before...

Hey guys I have been hard at work making some 80's mixes for the Canadian meet up this weekend, and wanted to share the link so everyone can enjoy them. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5m8wlfpb9b6njfo/AACSkamz2X77tRvuQtZ7QVy0a?dl=0 I put a mix up every day or so lately. Let me know your feedback or...

Hello all! This is my first post and i am very happy to see so much people dedicated to boombox repairs :D Here is my issue : I bought my clairtone 7980 for 300$, got to fix the belts problem with the unit, other problems will need to be checked out too but not right now. Tape deck 1 outputs...

Hey y'all! I've got two M70's I'm working on combining to get a real cherry. :yes: After gently wiggling the acrylic tuner plates off both boxes and pulling the metal strip off with a little heat I'm ready to reattach. I don't think it's a job for epoxy or anything heavy duty, but I don't wanna...

Could someone be so kind and take hi-res detailed & focused pictures of all angles of the spare tape drawer and post a link to them? I'm trying to come up with a 3D design for one, but lacking one I have to do some guesswork going off of blurry small pictures found here and there. What shots do...

Check this out brothas and sistas!!! I don't DJ, but I'm thinkin' about getting me one for the live concerts of my a cappella group!!! Anybody here have it already? Care to comment? :thumbsup: 310772542842

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...

I'm auctioning what seems to be a very rare Pioneer Cassette Tape and it rocketed from $5 (started last Saturday) up to $55.50 and it still has 4 more days to go!!! :drool: :dj-party: :ebay: 271264238370
