Beautiful player Auto. So rare, a stereo player in this classic cassette-recorder format.
I also have an old label printer with plastic labels that are over 10 years old. The advantage is that the labels are so old that they stick well,...
Great that it's working again. I think this is a really nice Walkman. The color and palm tree give it a wonderful beach holiday vibe.
Well, it was the best thread I could find about the adapters and recorders. So let's add to it :) Thanks for the tip about the batteries. I'm...
Here's the Sony AC-D4M. 220 Volt AC, 6 volts DC, 400 mA, center pin negative. I think it's an adapter typically intended for D6 recorders. In...
Here's another 6-volt Sony with a negative center pin in no load condition. This AC-600 adapter (100 mA) is too weak for the D5 recorder, but...
It's certainly interesting to take measurements under load. I'll try to measure the voltage in typical situations with the D5, if I have time....
Typically, you'll need to replace the central gear. By now, there won't be any left without a cracked gear. In my opinion, it's one of the easiest...
Today I've been working with the two AC-122 adapters I have. I use them for my D5 recorders. I mainly use them at 4.5 volts. The recorders work...
I don't hear much, to be honest. It's a mechanism, of course, and they always make some noise. Did you lubricate the motor bearing on the drive...
One motor two decks :swoon
Today I was working on a dead Panasonic RQ-X11. The motor was working, but otherwise, no sound or anything else. After I connected the jumper from...
Looks like Mr. Vox just needs to look harder :biggrin: Those Aiwa recorders are cool. Just a real nightmare to repair, in my opinion. My...
It sounds like the flea markets there have dried up too. Never heard of that brand of cassettes, but it's always nice to have a good supply :)
Welcome! We learned here that Athens is one of the best places to find super cool things at the flea market :)
What's the origin of the term? Why is it so widely used in marketing? I can imagine the first turbocharged F1 car in '77 might have played a role....
And turbos are coming back. While in cars, it used to refer to a turbocharger in the exhaust that actually added performance, that's no longer...
The "turbo" scam isn't typical of the eighties and is still alive and kicking. Philips, in particular, used it extensively and continues to do so...
Oh yeah, those are beautiful headphones. I really like this early 1980s design. It's a bit like a heavy-duty 3L2. I've never seen this one before....
Years ago, I also had problems with a seized TPS-L2 motor. I let it run for half an hour soaking in a bowl of WD-40, after loosening it first by...
