That time I cracked the case on my M90

[milosancho]

Was moving some stuff in my garage, M90 was sitting on a shelf. A 5" heavy caster fell right on top....cracked the case. Tragic to say the least.

This happened yesterday. Admittedly this is my 2nd M90 and it is in very rough shape. Needs a lot of work including missing the entire tape mechanism. But the case was in ok condition, aside from one of the antenna post being broken, it was good, no cracks. Now.....giant crack across the top. Likely cracked a couple of screw posts inside. I'll need to get in there to see the extent of the damage.

Oh well. I know this can be repaired....#1001 on the to-do list.

"Tragic" - I vote this being the understatement of the year!

I wish you all the best whenever you get round to the task.

What else is there to say except good luck with getting it back to top condition. I'm sure there will be plenty of guys who can offer assistance and tips.

I'm sorry, but that sounds like a total loss.. Send it to me and I will dispose of it properly! :fingerscrossed:

Of all the boxes it had to happen to. Why that one? That's a bum deal Milo. Sorry to hear it.

I'm ready to settle for M90 crumbs at this point.. I don't ever see owning one..

Like 2PAC once said, Keep Ya Head Up! Somewhere out there, is a JVC...for JC

 

[jimmyjimmy19702010]

Right now, I'd be perfectly happy with an M90 with a cracked case and a missing tape deck!
Good luck with the repairs dude,

James...

Me too? Haha. I know I'll get one, the "when" and "how much," remains to be determined.

Tragic!!

There's light at the end of the tunnel , thanks to some members here that have superior skills on repairing cases and more!

Who knows she might even look better.

Good luck.

M90's Matters!

Worst thread ever. That picture made me sick to my stomach.

 

[blu_fuz]

This is a blow to everyone, we feel for you man. Good luck getting it back in shape.

Oh Gawd!

I can only imagine the shock you felt when that happened.

It can be fixed for sure, but DUDE of all the radio's....the M90 :'-(

Best of luck, please post repair thread

 

[floyd]

it'll live lol. i know this **** aint' funny but wtf can you do besides the best you can , just another battle scar for the king. only an m90 can take that kind of hit and still survive . if it was a gf 777 that happened to i hate to think how many pieces it would be in.

 

[milosancho]

Thank you all for the condolences. I guess I should be thankful it was a clean break, no small pieces to glue back, just a crack to repair. I've seen some work done on other boxes and the results were amazing. I'll look over those threads to get some guidance on a proper repair.

Yeah, when this happened I was stunned.....in shock. I had to step away from it.....drank a beer and I felt better about it. Still sucks though.

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

I know members have had luck with some sort of solvent / glue? That welds the plastic back together.

Others please chime in

Yes that can be fixed like new! No worries!

Glad it was not on the front area!

 

[wolff3012]

That reminds me to my gf 999... someone falls over it... (not me)
Many hugs for you, be strong

 

[baddboybill]

Yeah that really stinks bad. But I might be able to help as I have a spare rear M90 case. Not mint but I think in better shape than yours. You might be able to use mine and your together to make a decent one. Good luck!!!
