Hi all, bought a Sanyo MR-V2CD today and struggling to find any info, nevermind the service manual. Anyone own one of these beauties?

Thanks,

Never mind Hopey. That looks like a Japan domestic unit correct? If so, it basically doesn't exist outside of Japan unless it was imported by someone either through Yahoo.jp or more recently, through eBay.

Here's some info which is probably in Japanese if you can find a way to translate it, AFTER you buy it.

As for service manual.... ONLY in japan my friend. Doesn't exist outside unless there's an associated Sanyo or Fisher variant of that outside of Japan.

Thanks for the link, it is indeed a Japanese import. The CD door needs some work and it needs all new belts. I've ordered an assorted belt kit and we'll see how I fair when I attempt to sort it on Friday.

Arrived this morning and it's got an excellent quality of sound in my opinion. Opened it up and it's looks a pain to change the belts. Got scared and closed it back up for another day. Maybe I'll have a drink and get brave.

So, looks good AND sounds good! Win, win!

All fixed, apart from the auto reverse, no service manual and it was missing a part. I'm okay with that.

She's a beaut!

Cool. BTW what is the FM bandwidth in that thing? Can it receive up to 108mhz?

Unfortunately not. Radio 2 for me.
