Hi,
this is my first post and also my first boombox I just found in a small electronics shop in the streets of Istanbul for 10 euros. I don't know anything about boomboxes, but I do remember the older kids in school back in the early 90's pumping tunes from their Sharp's.
My plan is the restore the unit but I have no experience more then cleaning some tape heads and demagnetise some tape delays so all help and tips I can get from here is very appreciated.
The unit is very dusty but it turns on and I can tune in something on FM but the volume is very low. The AM, SW1, SW2 does not tune in anything what I can hear. The cassette unit doesn't spin but I can hear the motor working from inside. Also the counter reset button is stucked in pressed position.
-Does anyone have a service manual to share?
-What chemicals is recommended to clean the units inside and outside?
-Where do I best order new belts and pinch roller?
Again, all help and tips are very very appreciated!
