Found the following on a sensible reply to this question

 

different tuner bands

D8614 has FM, MW, LW, SW 

D8623 has FM, MW, SW1, SW2 bands

Feel iv'e missed out here nothing wrong with 4 8614's Michiel, not that I would want 4 congrats mate

They are so easy to get here and they go cheap. But I plan to keep the best one and sell the rest. I need one mint silver one and a mint dark silver one. The last one is dark silver, and it supposed to be mint

Sounds like a good plan Michiel

michiel - 2013-07-24 07:36

michiel - 2013-07-24 08:15

well who could say no to that

The D8634 is the best-looking IMO

I want an 8614............on my list just a fussy bugger  I can feel it won't be long now!! Happy childhood memories of one of these, drunken teenage parties with equally drunk girls - I was still more interested in the 8614 supplying the real entertainment

The bad thing about these boxes is you need to put in a blank tape and hit Record-Pause if you want to make the LED's dance to the radio or Aux.  Hopefully that will still work after my belts break, lol.

It should still work, but there are so many different configurations of how the tape deck circuits are engaged & specifically in the 8614 that depends on the motor not breaking the brittle orange gear that operates the soft touch buttons that also engages the circuits to allow the sound to go forth  and I still need Three of those Orange gears for the Two Magnavox D8623 & One Philips D8614 that I have
