I just joined. I have a GE 3-5286A boombox that I bought in 1981 and it's been sitting on a shelf in the basement for the last 30 years. Just plugged in it the other day and it's not working, There is a flicker of the lights as I try to turn it on. Ill start checking some of the posts to see if they can help me out.

Today this cheapo.. got it from neighbour emptying basment. I cleaned all electronic switches and outside. I hate that dual volume pushers.. almost imposibile to balance them and tape player is working a bit to fast but that is easy to fix.

This Fisher is aka Sanyo.
I have similar model. After some upgrade work perfect.
Here is a short demo video with cassette, radio and mp3 module playback:

Any idea to how to use the MIC input as AUX "properly"?? (so much noise and distortion that way).

I used many times MIC MIX on my boomboxes without problems.
Usually the sound is mono, but from 2 speakers.

All depends on the right sound balance:
1. turn off (or flat) graphic equalizer on mp3 player - bass and treble should be minimum.
2. the sound level of the mp3 player should be around 30%.
3. the mic mixing volume should be around 30%.
4. also adjust the graphic equalizer on boombox.
