Hi, @nakamichi In Dec 2012 I bought two replacement belt kits for my 670ZX from Marrs Communications, and used one of them to replace the...
Hi, @Rick Cohen Thank you for your interest in my rebuild. You need at least a donor PB-S5/A and two Ni-MH 2/3 F6-style batteries. When I...
Hi, @soundabout see several rebuilds here; I've done the first one. http://stereo2go.com/forums/media/albums/aiwa-pb-s5.67...
Great results, @hugo @walkman archive! I've used this method for some years now on anything from vintage Lego bricks (transparent or white), to...
Hi, all Well, I was right. No "slight wear" either, a pretty serious misalignment: [ATTACH] This is the "after" photo on my Panasonic RQ-S40V....
Hi, @buzbox, I'm glad to hear they replied to you! I don't know how much they quoted you, but I paid $13 for shipping from Missouri to California...
Indeed, well said. I've done another little experiment: I've recorded another virgin 799 - again with Blank Recording - without any NR (HX Pro...
Excellent points, Hugo, I completely missed that. Let me add to that that the ‘true’ 0 is at precisely 0dB VU for both decks. It’s only the Dolby...

I've been busy going through the service manual and bringing to parameters the various adjustments featured. In doing so, I am replacing some...
Hi, Jorge Someone somewhere (maybe on the old site?) had already made a CAD drawing of the gear and 3D printed it, and was demonstrating its...
I spent quite some time on your website admiring the jets. I used to do that as a child and loved every minute of it. Don't ever stop!
Hi, Jorge The speakers have proper low/midrange and highs coil driving units with a passive crossover built-in. They're made in Belgium (for or)...
Hi, all Here is a little movie of ‘the beast’ as Jorge said. It’s still not done (and I expect something to break at any moment :)) but for now...
Hi, Jorge News update: everything works! This morning I was able to record from the CD to the cassette player. CD playback and the resulting...
Ok, like I suspected, the Error Detection and Correction IC (SAA7020) on the decoder PCB, was also toast. I've replaced it with the one from...
Hi, Jorge Yes, the laser emits light (see: lens focuses - above). I've set the focus pot in the middle (it was almost in the middle anyway) and...
