Fabulous video! Are you able to share the contact details for where i can obtain the replacement LCD screen. Thank you

Found the crs2204 next to trash, decided to plug it in and see if it works. Fm Radio is working half-fine (turning knobs makes volume jump up and down, usually staying real quiet), everything else has weird sinus-like noise with it going up and downpitch quick (probably interference in my city, i still can get some channels to show up). The cassette player was filled with old gunk. Unscrewed everything, opened it up, cleaned from dust (especially the potentiometers, will put some cleaning alcohol there so it works better), got the whole cassette unit out and washed it good. The belts were all thorn in pieces. Put on some elastic bands because i got no cassettes to play. Next week when i get home from uni I will finish things up and see if it works better.

I found a couple of these in a box of discarded old tape players real cheap, and i love the feature set. Belts work, had to resolder the headphone jack and volume dial, and now its pretty solid. Unfortunately it only plays properly in one direction, where the other direction plays back about 10-15% slower. Is there a separate circuit for the reverse playback power?

Could you please explain why the radio components on the part of the circuit board responsible for the radio are filled with wax? What exactly is filled with wax, and what purpose does it serve? I haven't been able to find this information anywhere. If you know, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!

That will be a nice radio 📻 restoration. Ya should also change any out of tolerance capacitors. Also, check the dial cord, and the dial light. It's best 👌 to get everything on this working. Happy Thanksgiving!! Your friend, Jeff.

Hi, would very much like to know the country singer or group that you use before, during and after the cassette player repairs.Really good music!

Of course I can't say for sure, but maybe try derusting any mechanical parts that are supposed to move around and slide on top of eachother? Maybe that's a part of the deep cleaning you need to do and the cause of your issue? I found it rather strange you do so much cleaning and oiling and stuff, but leave that whole part rusted...

I have a superscope CD-320 portable stereo cassette deck (1978) designed by Marantz, and I'm wonder If the belt layout is the same, looks like it should be. I replaced the belts, but I don't think i got them installed correctly. Its a great deck and I'd like to get it working again.

Jump over that "Coming up" I hate it. "American tv format"

I've bought a few boomboxes and some of them had tuner faults (no FM stations, just static hiss, but the AM worked fine). I never came across one with faulty AM.

Very nice! Good thing you had another one lying around. 😁

You did a great job on this. It's actually a cute little walkman. Also loving the Woolworths cassette!

Really nice little unit. And another nice video.

I am completely obsessed with boomboxes, so this is heaven! Might be because I bypassed them when I was younger in favour of a 'music centre', now having a bit more time and money I can indulge in what I never had! Thanks for the great video!

Great looking. I wish one company would make something quality again

waiting for the Sharp VZ-2000 vid.. need a reference video when i put mine back together.. :)

Sir is it for sale how much price pl

Really enjoyed this vid!! I love these old retro radio cassette units being brought back to life!!

Great job and patience 😊

I got a victor (JVC) rc m70 from japan, it's not playing any audio inputs i give it, and i'm in dire need of someone much more inclined than me, i suspect it's the muting circuit but not sure, any recommendations?

This is super rad, I've never seen one of these before, really look forward to seeing this fixed up!

What a lovely refurb. I've just bought a refurbished Toshiba RT-6035, which I absolutely love, so I'm finding this video extremely interesting! Very watchable and friendly, thank you.

Mine's not playing audio at all, i tried deoxit-izing the controls and it only eliminated crackly sounds, trying to turn it into a good shelf speaker with my line-in bt adapter. any recommendations?

Ive seen the cassette version in person but never the 8track I also have a Panasonic boombox that says coke cola it may have been an enmploye award.

Hey, ive changed my belt after having issues with it running extremely slowly borderline slow motion. After changing the belt there was a massive improvement however the sound is still slow and jumps randomly. Hope that explains it. Help!😄

Nice work! Honestly surprised to see a full size speaker and not a piezo speaker in there, seems to be a pretty nice quality little game.

I remember seeing the Firefox movie in the theater when it first came out. Loved it. I would have loved this game!

Hey - enjoyed your video and am trying to repair the same machine. If you don’t mind me asking , where did you get the replacement power jack from?

Hi, Did you manage to get it working? I just bought one of these off eBay and the FF/REW belt was off, I managed to get it back on and it all works as it should but I'd like to replace all the belts with new ones. do you happen to know the belt sizes? (I wish I had measured them while they were off).

Love this game by Parker Brothers. The longer you hold down the shoot button the more power behind the hit. I believe this is the first ever electronic pool game made. Thank You.

Stripped screws love to hide in the inserts. This model you're working on is quite impressively clean for its age!!

I used to have an ultra cassette recorder i got as an xmas gift in the 70's. Built like a tank and great sound quality!

As a fellow boombox repairer.. what kind of camera/mic/and editing software do you use? i have come along way since 2010.. but i want to use a similar style as you.. thanks!

It looks like an inverted LEGO base plate. Are the holes compatible with LEGO pieces?

Stick with the towel of destiny!! It’s your thing! Why be like everyone else?

I feel as though you need a blue mat like the other repair channels, rather than ruining a towel? I should add, your videos are very entertaining despite the lack of a blue mat.

I barely remember seeing a permanent magnet eraser head before 1986 🤔

@20:48 Barry White - You see the trouble with me. (just in case 🙂) Satisfying clean repair job as always 👍 Cheers

Haha you're so right about the power cord. Especially when it's a UK type, although it is my favorite type of all the plugs I know😊

Having followed your unboxings and restorations for quite some time now, one thing that amazes me is how often you find these old things with the 'peels' still stuck to the cassette doors.

Nice review! I have a Akai AJ-457FS Boombox from 1985 in box in mint condition in box and packing with accessories and original power cord. It’s based on that Toshiba you’ve reviewed and are a great unit with a reliable mechanism, just watch for the rubber take up idler which can split but is easily accessible and replaced. Keep up the excellent reviews! David

I like the "Bi-Phonic" label on the cassette door which indicates originality and may add value. Unless it's damaged or dirty there is no need to remove that label. If this is another one for your personal boombox collection, and not a customer repair, I'd say it is a keeper. Surprisingly excellent shape given its age. Not too shabby. 😎

I love everything JVC. That one is incredible. Are the meters working?

got one of these (the U.K. version) i'm from the U.S. it's in pieces right next to me.. has been like that for the last year.. it's in really good shape.. but have been procrastinating on putting it back together.. looking forward to your journey on this one.. will help me remember where all the stuff goes lol.. bought 3D printed sliders from Analog Alley on Shapeways.. sadly they are no longer on Shapeways.. to bad too.. as the quality of the sliders are top notch.. subscribed to see when you mess with this beast..

Beautiful job 👍😊

Alnico drivers in a mid 80s boom box 😮

Nice video as always! I like checking the dates on the motor to see the year of manufacture,always find it interesting! These units from the 70’s are a lot more solidly built but have way more wiring due to the later models being more modular with detachable plugs and less discrete components.

As a fellow boombox repairer.. nice work!

You can't make a decent living repairing small trash.
