I got this Telefunken RC760 last week, without aerial, with busted "pause" key, and radio barely working. The pots were very scratchy, and the tape would not play. After disassembly, and dust-busting I saw that belts are transformed to sticky strands. I am looking for replacements.
There are Line In/Out - nice, but no Hi-Fi can be expected from this unit.
The tape deck motor was made by Matsushita (now Panasonic), on 1986-07-30. Speakers also carry their amblem. Not bad.
There are lots of images of this box on the internet, and at least three pages with (free) service manuals. The radio uses five chips from Toshiba, and is rather "plasticky". It does not look like it was made in Germany, neither does it say on the case.
Mine got some heavy corrosion around 2200uF/16V (C706) capacitor due to glue that was put there, supposedly to fix it so it would not break off from the board. Over the time, the glue got very rigid and only kept moisture closer to one jumper wire and another capacitor that looks rather corroded as well. There is only a speck of transformed glue visible on this image (marked by red oval) - on the electrolytic capacitor right between the amp-chip and large C706.
I had to remove the glue with pliers, and then corrosion presented itself in full glory. I am probably going to replace both capacitors, as I am not sure if they leaked or not.
The "Pause" key was not broken, just slipped off the rail, and was easy to put back. The tape deck looks cheap but everything moves O.K. I wonder how it will play after I change the belts? Not so great, I presume.
More to come, after bathing and some testing.
