I intended to buy one radio for my camper van project. I gave up on cassettes a few years ago when my Nakamichi and Revox 3 head decks were stolen. Seems I am getting back into it in another way.
Here's what I bought in the last couple of weeks. Most are being shipped and I have yet to see their condition, and which ones are fixable.
Panasonic RX-5350
Panasonic 5410
JVC RC-550
JVC RC-838
Promax J-1
Akai AJ-520
Sharp GF-515
Sony ICF-6800W
Grundig 2100

Maybe I bought every collectible on sale in the country.

The Philippines? have you had any delivered yet?
The RC550 which is with an engineer now and the Sony ICF6800W which works except for SW, and needs an antenna. I am from England but in the Philippines as of now. I am hoping some can be fixed at local labor rates.

The Panasonic 5410 arrived.
Cassette mechanism is jammed idler wheel was loose inside. I think there must be a bearing missing that was between the idler wheel and the shaft.
Ferrite rod is broken.
The speaker needs a new cone.
New belts of course.
Motor is lose. Not sure if it works.
Well only cost a bullseye.
I will put it to the back of the pile for now.
