Wow this thread popped up and exploded!
Great work once again! Hey that battery door metal looks familiar. Same stuff or different?
I was thinking with your channel problem, did you figure out the cause? On one of my 931's, I had a dirty contact in the "external speaker" jacks, cause only one side to work. And a dirty headphone jack on my little panasonic, causing the same issue.

Thanks M.T.Mystic Traveller said:Thorough job done - respect!
Thanks M.O.M. I have seen some of your threads as well, and it's need to see your digging into your radio's to get them worked out! I spend hours reading those threads, probably my favorite on the siteMyOhMy said:

)
Thanks BL48!!!!BoomboxLover48 said:Great work Chris!
I'm still hoping that some keys will show up down the line. It's still totally possible to get the decks working again, but it's gonna need keys firstim_alan_partridge said:What a monster, I love the sharpie cassette keys, great idea
YES!!!!! That metal should look familiar. I still need to work on my tabs, but it's such a pleasure to work with compared to the stainless steel I was using. I also used it to make the covers for the deck keys in this project.trippy1313 said:
So everyone knows what we are talking about, trippy1313 (Ken) was kind enough to send me some metal panels that he painstakingly cut up so I could make battery doors and other parts. Because of his kindness, I was able to make the battery door for David's Rexcel and because of Ken, it didn't cost David anything (I didn't have to buy materials).
See Ken, your kindness has found it's way into another members radio!
Just another reason why Boomboxery ROCKS! Everyone working together brings them back!

Haha. Right on. You guys are welcome. Glad they came in handy. Good to know it worked well. I'll keep trying to save some from time to time.

Great resto! Just curious, what is the kind and thickness was the metal used for the battery cover? Looks like I may need to also make one for one of my project boxes... Thumbs up Chris ðŸ‘
Cool man, I am already about halfway through what you sent metrippy1313 said:
Thanks Okelly, I'm not sure the gauge, I believe it is from a car hood????Okelly said:

Hyundai quarter panel actually. I'd guess it was around 20 gauge? But it's HSS (high strength steel) as opposed the mild steel you get at the hardware stores. Way different stuff.Lasonic TRC-920 said:Cool man, I am already about halfway through what you sent me

Sorry to deter away from the main topic guys. My bad.
Any decisions on LED's?
I'll keep my eyes peeled for a charcoal grey Hyundai...if you see one with a battery cover sized hole with Michigan plates, it wasn't me!
