SONY FH

[oldskool69]

Thanks for the comments on the surrounds. An FYI though, the ones I made for for square cone speakers for my Pioneer CK-W700. I did make surrounds for my JVC PC-3 as well.

The glue stick I used is for fabric and designed to withstand normal heat cycles including gettig washed. It just made it faster plus I knew it would be forever hidden.

Thanks Freddie!

Thanks for the information!

I want to save the restoration of the surround link here.

wow, love that sony system!! and that commercial, so classic

DJBREEZY, It is an amazing unit!

The sound quality is awesome!

I cleaned all the contacts with Deoxit. The nly problem is sooner or later I got to replac ethe woofer foam surrounds. That is something I need to plan on how to do it.

Hopefully I can hear one someday!! looks like quite a project you had on your hands.

Yes! Now waiting for the belts to come in. Hopefully I will get it on Wednesday. I will replace belts and lube the flywheel. The re-assebly I might push till the Friday Feb 1 evening.

I was working on fixing the double cassette deck for several evenings and finally I finished it.
Replaced both belts and lubed it.
It is for sureone of the most complicated decks to work on.
Now it works like a charm.

If any member come across with problems fixing the deck I have tonnes of pictures to help fix it.

The belt size is 7.0 inches. Actually I calculated it measuring the distance between the flywheel and the the other drive pulley and diameter of both. After getting the length I multiplied it with 0.95 to accomodate some tension from stretching. The calculation was right on teh nose.

The 7.0" belt was snug fit. I bought the FBS 7.0" from studio electronics.

Measure the diameter of each pulley/flywheel and divide by 2 to get the radius of the pulley
Measure the distance from the center of the pulley/flywheeel to the center of the other pulley

Total length of the belt = [(2 X distance from the center of the pulley/flywheel to the center of the other pulley + 3.14 X radius of the flywheel/pulley + 3.14 X radius of the other pulley)] X 0.95

Basically we are adding the 1/2 of the circumference (2Ï€r) of two pulleys, and adding twice the distance between the center of two pulleys, then reducing the length by 5% to get the snug fit.

Yes Jimmy!

Now I am glued to this box.

I got the FH fever now!

Trust me they sound amazing!!!! But I need to make new surrounds for the speakers. I am now using an MK speaker (It is a beast) It rocks!

I love the double cassette! It is so good!

Yes! It needs a battery pack.

Now I can give some advice on working on that double cassette deck. I learned a lot!
