I don't like the SX Walkmans. The main problem is that I use my cassettes in many different devices, and oil from the capstan bearing regularly...
I have one Fair Mate in my collection. It's a Rhythm machine like the Sony Rhythm Capsule. I haven't played with it in a while, but I think it has...
Nice deal indeed. Especially if you like several of the same. Indeed, AKA heaven :) I always wonder about these. How different are they from the...
Agree, don't use an adapter with high-end Sony Walkmans. Luckily, the AC-38 is negative center and 3V, so it might have survived. You have a...
The only thing missing from that ad is Ernst Stavro Blofeld's Cat :) Those stairs and wall give it such a wonderful 60s vibe. This machine is...
Sony CFS-W50 in red :)
There's really not much information available about it yet. I've put it on my wishlist. Perhaps there's a date on the motor mechanism or somewhere...
Nice interesting machine! With FM! Found some pics of it from some old ebay listing. Check out the tuner scale. It was not only JDM. Any idea from...
Looks like a Philips 774! That will be one hell of a loud party there with the Rock Steady Crew :fisch
I think getting the service manual is a great idea. That way, repairs are much easier, because you can check if everything is properly assembled...

It's not unusual for the switches to interact with the mechanism. For example, the motor makes certain movements to activate certain functions...
I see a few switches on the board. It's just a suggestion, but have you checked if they're aligned with the mechanism when you put the board back...
Before you put money into the machine, it's good to know that cassette deck problems are likely caused by two cam gears that may be worn out. The...
It depends a lot on whether the aluminum trim on the front is still in place. Without this aluminum plate, it's considerably less valuable than...
I'm enjoying this thread. Great research, guys :)
I have a box that looks the same. It is branded Goldstar TSR-540. I've also seen it as Sound 4004 I think.
Nice one, great score! Its a very early boombox. I thought it was from around 1969. I had one once too. A Grundig C201-FM. I tried to get it...
I still remember a lot of great members and huge collectors. I won't name names, because I'm sure I'll forget a few if I start. At some point, I...
Hey JT, long time no see. Good to see you're back. I've been away for quite a few years myself. Luckily, that didn't mean I lost track of...
Separate names with a comma.
