That Youtube Techmoan guy took an Amstrad Hifi apart recently, and you wouldn't believe the tat inside. Outside it looks real high end with it's...
There used to be a factory called Reynolds Electronics in Shannon Industrial Estate in the 70's and 80's and they used to turn out plastic tat...
The tape player looks a bit sketchy. Manual buttons and no Dolby. Probably the usual cheap Chinese mechanism inside.
No joke, that was my dream machine when I was in my teens. I couldn't afford it. Went for a (much) cheaper Panasonic instead.
You can get this stereo radio with a built in speaker. I can say the sound is amazing from both the speaker and headphones. Its also a great world...
All those Japanese companies were all in each others pockets. swapping labels when it suited. Sanyo, Aiwa, Akai, Technics, Panasonic, Sharp. They...
Here is an advert for the Sears version of the Tensai. [IMG] $500 in 1981 is $1700 now. :noway: They are a very good unit. I hooked up a...
Those Panasonic's baffle me. If you choose the CD version, you get a crap analogue tuner but logic controlled tape, but if you choose the double...
I was wondering why it had a mediocre sound.
I absolutely hate their analogue tuning implementation. And they used to use it in everything up to when they went PLL. What were they thinking? I...

When I was 10, somebody gave me this Saisho stereo for Christmas. Junk, Garbage. The thing is I had about 20 pre-recorded cassettes. When I went...
I picked this up at a Sunday market for €17. MisterX asked me to repost it here. Lovely unit. All metallic. The sound is crystal clear. Sears,...
Thanks. I have seen the Sears one that is identical online and a very similar Akai. I think Akai were called Tensai originally. Ill move the...
I have seen these branded by four different companies. Akai, Sanyo, Sears and Tensai. First impression is they have an amazing sound. Better sound...
They were shooting themselves in the foot by taking out VHF for the UK market. The Republic of Ireland had the same PAL system but used mainly...
"Sex Bus". LOL. Thats on Spinal Tap's forthcoming album. :delighted:
I am pretty good once I know where everything is. I cleaned the tape/Radio switch and that is fine. I checked with the multimeter.
Thanks. I think the BASF 9320 is identical from looks anyway. But can't find that either. I can find the circuit diagram of the 9320 but no PCB...
Here's a good one I picked up at a local market. It works fine. It probably can be classed as a clone of the Sony although it does not have the...
