Today's thrift find: Sound 3030D

[Zippy]

It's been a while since I've been hunting in the wild so naturally. But today I spotted this Sound 3030D while being out for a different purpose.
It was pretty dirty but after a good cleanup it's now a looker again
This is kind of an TRK-9140 AKA but not exactly

A few scratches on top, Power switch is missing. Everything works fine, only the playing tape doesn't produce any sound.
Sound is pretty good! 12.5W per channel go to show.

Hey zippy, let me know if you need parts.
Just wrecking my 3030!

First i wanted to keep it, but then i found the middle part of a HITACHI.
So i only need the speakers of it

Thanky a lot, guys

Not bad at all. See if you can fix that other VU

Actually they both work! But I didn't want to turn the volume all the way up just to make the VUs bounce nicely so I switched to battery/tuning mode.
Radio reception was pretty poor that moment that's why the second VU doesn't show anything

Hey zippy, let me know if you need parts.

Thanks But it looks like your 3030 has lost the power switch as well? Do you think the OSC switch would do the job, too? If so, I'd be pretty thankful for it
It may also be that I could use some parts of the cassette mechanism, I need to check the inside.

Freddie you are going to broke my budget . I have one offer for 9140. And after Dessau i deffo decided that this one is "must have" (you know im just after one piecers, but those LEDs and the tide bass and crisps highs , and tough military look its going to be my ONLY 3 picer even WX1 is out of my hunt (yea M90 too , and Max have the first DIBS when i catch M90 someday ). My girl is traveling to Berlin for 10 days and bring me back your Sony , im still broken after Dessau (damn plane tickets ) . And we were discussing this 9140...... And the seller is asking insane high price...... And so on and on..... And you need to buy and made this tread . I hate you

I will take it out of the storage next week, open it, then we will see more.
You can have every part you need, no problem.

 

[Zippy]

Thanks alot
And no hurry! I actually meant that I need to check the inside of mine first anyway

 

[ViennaSound]

Any updates?

Mine is ready for wrecking
But the powerbutton is also broken at mine

what a nice looking box

 

[BENDYCAT]

This is my one - look near the same - i love my one with a military look - mine is near mint and cleaned up well - not your normal looking box but one to have and being a carboot find makes it even sweeter
