hi, it's an m90 i got for 15 dollars!, a friend here pointed me in the direction of a craigslist ad for an m60, when it got here though it was the m90, i was very afraid he'd be sore but he's not, and if i ever sell it i'll cut him in, needs work though! it's all intact although the tape deck doesn't work at all, antennas are broke, if the tuning dial is supposed to light up it doesn't, it's dirty as hell! vu meters seem to work although when i plug in my zune it's intermittantly cutting out on the right channel, might be my wire though, fm reception is bad, tape deck like i said doesn't work, buttons don't do a thing, when i turn it off though i hear a clicking from the deck, i can see the belt, it's got alot of slack, i tried to open it up but it's to complex for me i think, i already screwed up trying to clean it, paint on top seems stained, so i tried to clean and wiped off the paint :'-( , any help appreciated! tks, Larry, ps i'll try to get some pics up

Well, your right in the fact that it needs work, but even for $15 it seems like a good deal. There are quite a few good techies on this site. Not sure if anyone would want to do the work for you.

The fact that the M90 uses a fully logic cassette mechanism means that's over my head. But it doesn't mean it's not repairable.You mentioned the belt looks loose. Sounds like a belt is in order. Paint isn't really a big deal. Antenna's are no biggie either and intermittent sound from one speaker COULD be as simple as some DeOxit spray.

We'll see if anyone chimes in here.

Good luck! PM me if you decide to sell it as is!
