Ha, after a while the left channel stopped working. Nothing to do with switches - the radio experienced a widespread capacitor failure. I had to...
Ah, well, it's not like it was a steal - I think it was worth just about 50. It needs a complete recap, and I had to do a lot to get the mechanism...
Yes, I got it less than a month ago, it's a red one. Took a bit of a gamble with it - the seller had no feedback at all. I paid $50 for it, listed...
Hi, So, like in the title, I'm having this peculiar issue. The little Aiwa will play on both speakers in radio mode, but on the microcassette, it...
Splicing down video tape is not a feasible idea, in my opinion. Also, I don't think using analog video tape would yield any better results than...
Hi, I'm a big fan of microcassettes. However, I've been left quite disappointed by the sound quality they offer. Even on metal microcassettes, the...
Hey guys, I'm selling my new in box, nearly mint Philips D8000, with all the accessories. Works perfectly too....
Okay, I found and bought 2 new Olympus XH60s for 22 bucks, thread closed.
Hi, I recommend scouring through local auction sites and local eBay sites (if you're in Europe). I find that as long you're in the EU (or were..),...
True, and I wanna have something for use, that's why I can accept used tapes too. But regardless, the TDK MA got delivered to me today, it's from...
Mister X, those Aiwa tapes look sweet but that pricing is steep. The Fisher ones I tried to buy, but the seller insists on using eBay Global...
No need for that I think, I just grabbed a barely used TDK MA-60 from approx. 1980. I think it should work fine, given that it's from the same...
Yeah, he is, sadly. Actually, I tried making metals myself. I used Fuji JP Metal 90, which yielded some positive results - I could successfully...
Hey, I'm looking for some original metal microcassettes. They don't have to be new, but usable. Any brand will do, as long as they are metal.
Thanks to the help of tpknguyen09, I was able to figure it out. The arm underneath that idler wheel was completely stuck due to old grease and it...
Hi, I did that now, without any change. From what you've said, the idler is supposed to engage and touch the flywheel. It's not engaging at all,...
Hello, As in the title, it plays fine, it's not an electrical issue because the motor gets turned on when I press either ff or rewind, purely...
I disassembled it completely and almost every electrolytic capacitor has leaked. Almost all have corroded legs.
It only happens on the tape deck. I originally thought it was an issue with dirty pots, but I cleaned them without difference. This noise I'm...
Hello, A while ago I bought an Olympus SR11 stereo microcassette recorder, advertised as working. Mechnically it is working well but it has a...
