What is the easiest boombox to work on

[Atari]

I was working on a Sanyo 9927k today and it was very easy to work on compared some others.
Looking for shared experiences with boxes that are easy to work on

If we are talking just a re belting, the m90 gets my vote

Toshiba RTS 80 s , even a child could work on it.

I love the Sharp GF9090/9191/9292 for how great they are to work on...sooooo easy

Toshiba line many models only five screws and one belt. Also branded Akai.

RT-70s

I agree these are as simple as it gets . I just got an RTS 80 s from the original owner who was cleaning his basement.

Sharp GF-A1 (bugpats photo). 2 way speakers sound great you can use a simple o ring as a pinion tyre. Easy belt replacement lots of different colours.

Nightmare?...they’re really well put together, they’d clearly though about servicing when they designed it. I can strip one down in minutes, could probably do it blindfolded lol

How about cleaning out the capstan shaft bushing mount do you remove the bottom bushing?
