Philips D 7100

[babya]

Got a Philips D 7100 for $1 today.

It's a nice looking Philips mini boombox.

It has:
-a cassette deck
-AM/FM radio
-runs on 220v mains or C batteries (will run fine on 230V as used in Australia )

Just needs some repairs to be done-the radio section mostly.

Hey, really love this solid looking Mono!
Congrats man.
Good price, good box.

Although I could get it work to work-there was a loud noise coming from it, even when pressing the tape buttons, so in the end I'm going to disassemble it and keep any parts that might be useful from it.

Not so fast!

Did you any try to clean/demagnetize the heads?
Had the same problem at a PHILIPS.
Also take a good clean of the main switch.
This may fail sometimes.

After a good cleaning mine was working again!

btw: own the same in choco-grey

I was going to do that-but finding tape cleaners or demagnitizers in Australia can be tricky.

Also tried running off batteries-didn't work and 230V mains (made the loud annoying sound).

In the end, I had to part with it.

1. Best would be isopropanol and a solid piece of cloth.
Or if you can´t get some spiritus.

2. Clean the little swich inside the plug for the powercable.

3. :'-(
