I just called the repair shop and they told me that they are waiting for some parts and that there should be some "good news" by next week. They said that they will call me by then.
The HK-9000Z does not look any different than the HK-9000. The repair shop told me that the difference is that there are some different parts inside.
I'll keep you guys posted.
ford93 said:Insanitor what part of NYC are you from, I used to live in Queens hung out in all five boroughs back in the mid 70's on through to 2001.
I know New York City is not the same as before. I may be crazy but I loved NYC in the 70's & 80's those were the best years.
I'm in Queens.
During the 70's and 80's you always got yourself mugged out here.
But I learned how to deal with it.
On 9/11/2001 you could see the twin towers burning from Northern Boulevard.
EDIT:
The repair shop just called me to tell me that my boombox is ready. Gonna pick it up on tuesday hopefully.
I'm listening to my boombox now. It works pretty good. They did a good job.
Now I own two sharp boomboxes.
Insanitor's got his hk-9000z back!

I know that this is an old post...
The repairs from 2011 were only partial. It was mainly old and worn out controls for the equalizer, volume controls and the rest. I did not possess the original manual at the time and because of that, I couldn't have possibly known that there were some other functions on my boombox that were not functioning.
The complete list of recent repairs I will put here:
Controls of the equalizer and other controls were not functioning correctly.
Tape1 sounds bad because the tape head had been replaced with the wrong tape head and the HK-9000Z had been adjusted for that tape head.
Loose connections on the back of the HK-9000Z for the Phono, CD/AUX and AC INPUT.
Buttons for the LCD Clock function badly.
Plastic pieces for holding the speaker wire along the bottom rear of the HK-9000Z are in very bad condition.
Rear board has been cut to make new connectors for Phono and CD/AUX.
LCD Clock battery holder had been replaced with the wrong LCD Clock battery holder.
Tape1 and Tape2 cassette doors have cosmetic damage to the paint surface.
All buttons needed to be checked for proper operation, one of them had not functioned for a while.
The technician then found that the tuner, while changing stations had not been smooth. That problem was fixed.
First return: The right channel had distortion given certain settings on the equalizer. That problem was fixed.
Second return: The auto stop function on Tape1 was not functioning.
I have tested pretty much the rest of the functions and they are all working. I now have an electrically fully functional HK-9000Z! I am very happy.
