    Here it is all fixed after getting dropped during shipping, breaking power board in two, breaking speaker loose from cabinet, and breaking all function switches!

    The tape mechanism needed a ton of work, new belt and the fast fwd and rewind gear wasn't engaging and needed adjusting.

    Tape deck is working beautifully and is one of the cleanest recording and playing decks I have
    ever heard on a boombox with 0.06% wow and flutter! (See spec sheet below)

    I have to pull out the functions not used and push in the one I want to use because the spring mechanism is permanently broken, but at least I can use all functions now. (The tape helps to pull the switches in and out easily)

    i'm friends with Steve (2channelhero) on Fakebook, he posts on there most days, not so much about boomboxes though these days.

    Could you be kind enough and ask him for a free copy please?
    Any I have found are just 3 pages, only the schematic, I want the whole lot.
    Thanks.

    Why can't you get on Facebook C2G? I quit using it a few years ago and definately don't have it following my every move on my phone.
