Today i had a littlebit time, so i started parting out the old NORDMENDE Transita.
Nothing was working at it and it is´nt worth to save.
So the last pics at the working station:




The Label:



Dirt on it everywhere:



I tried to open the battery door.
Not able...
So i broke it out with a big screwdriver.
What did i see?





Never leave old batteries in your boombox!!!
Always remember the bad results:



Opened:



The part with the plugs i saved:



Taking out the tapedrive and parting it...



It can´t have sounded good with this tiny speaker:



Saved:
Grip, Motor, Propellers of the drive, speaker, trafo, some screws and little parts of the tapedrive...



Finally the rest > go to dump:



I hope i can use some parts anywhere.

Hi there-what an absolute mess!!
It looked like it could have been a fairly rare box but with that kind of corrosion-it's nuts!
You may have some parts there at least.
That has to be the worst corrosion-looks like they were 1970 batteries!
Have a good week-GB.

Your workstation looks interesting.... what is it set up to do?

Even looks like it was in Normandie during the 40'ies.

That battery corrosion is one of the worst I've ever seen! YEEEUUUKKKK!!!!

At first I thought it actually was growing fungus!!!

I built it in the beginning 90´s.
Because i learned radio+tv-technican at the Philips-Service-Center.
It´s made of some old trash of the Center.
But everything with sence.
Multimeters, timers, amperemeter for power consumption, testspeaker, trafos and many more.
Ok, today i would make it other, but at this time i had not the abilities.
From 2000 ~ 2007 it was out of order, i don´t needed it any more.
But since S2go-time, it started working again...





When the Philips-Service-Center shut down in the late 90´s i also saved a lot of old electronics!
Oscilloscope, wavegenerator, frequency-counter, trafos, soldering-station, multimeter and many more.
Very old but working.
But this in an other thread...
