It was fancy backthen. I prefer analogue meters. Found one in an old classroom. It was white like some one poored some flour on it but I learned quickly it was asbestos dust from the room's cracked walls. I left it there. 😅

I bought this as my first dolby and hxpro deck back as a previous model year sale, so 1992. I was working for $4.50 an hour at Burger King, so even on sale this was a major purchase. Performed well for many years, and made many tapes off fm radio, which I still play. I don't remember when it crapped out, but the b side stopped having sound, then the left side developed a crackle for a while, then no sound. Into the recycle bin it went. I never thought anything ugly about the all red. I was just happy to have a tape deck with quality sound and less to no tape hiss. The previous unit was an all in one Yorx new wave. Thanks for the 20 minutes of nostalgia.

YOOO I HAVE BASICALLY THE SAME ONE!! It's a KX-W8020 and it's probably one of the best decks I've used, the model I have has all of the same features except high speed dubbing, otherwise it's all the same

Nice job. Looks like a fairly well engineered product.. seen alot worse.

it looks much better.

Îmi place foarte mult pentru modificarea făcut și curățirea dec casetofon original.

For a moment...i thought it was my exact Kenwood twin cassette deck...the LED display is identical to my KX-W4020...but the tape buttons are electronic and auto reverse in the middle...mine are under the decks as manual type are...but the motherboard and transports look just the same from 3 feet away...I'm sure there's extra components on his more advanced model...i prefer simplistic...less to go wrong...but the LED mod is clever...well done... tempting for me but not for a while...maybe when it needs more attention I'll do that too

Nice job! I think both mechs are almost completely Technics.

خیلی خیلی متشکرم مهندس همین را میخواستم عالی متشکرم❤❤❤❤

Just bought one of these off eBay. Excellent video, should come in handy when repairing mine.

Vampire, standby or phantom power draw? = it is waiting for a command input ~ in case of those digital caliper; to press on/off button/slide caliper open. I also have one and was aware of it; I have seen that with it “virtually” off, if the LCD is looked at, at a certain angle the digits are seen ‘ghosted’ on it and with the coin cell removed they disappear ~ I just take the battery out when storing it. I can relate to 2 things that have that problem; 1st a small candy grabber: it had a ‘physical’ switch and when turned on, would wait for a coin to be pushed into it’s slot ~ found when intermittently using it as a money box/piggy bank for loose change. if left switched on the batteries would drain and learnt to tip it back to the switch under it to physically turn it off. 2nd the ‘modern’ remote controlled gas fireplace in our ‘recently’ renovated lounge; waiting for the ignition command from the remote, when the fire shop engineers had installed the fireplace they left the battery pack in the fire and the 9v in the remote connected then the builders covered-up the fireplace to stop dust going into it and up the chimney & to protect the marble surround. I can’t remember how long it took them, but after the builders had finished refurbishing the lounge, we ceremoniously un-covered the fire to light it in celebration but it emitted 3 beeps and did nothing 🤨, we looked at the “troubleshooting” in the manual and it said: indicating low/weak battery’s = so by the time it was installed > the lounge being refurbished the fireplace had drained its battery’s to the point it wouldn’t light 🙄. As it is only used if the central heating fails and on Christmas Day & Boxing Day when the family come around, as a traditional decoration and heater, I had learned to disconnect the battery pack in the fire & the 9v battery in the remote after using it, and for about 6 “Christmas’s”? The fireplace has not needed to have its battery’s replaced 😉

Well, it does have HX Pro, and Dolby B-C. It's a fairly run of the mill 90s deck, but you can do worse. Worth saving.

u are right the small connector on led is anode, must be throwbacks that have been sold .. nice work

Not the best of decks but still definitely worth saving. It's a Rolls Royce compared to the dross Teac sell for £400+ nowadays.

My dad had a Kenwood X-82 cassette deck with his in 1989, that one also had a fault where it would stop as soon as you pressed play. I think it was just on one of the decks though, the LEDs were similar as well but it was just a single line of red ones instead of one each for L & R

🙏🙏🙏👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice work!

What a piece of junk, sold them back in the days. Great fun to repair stuff anyway, keeps the mind from other problems. Well done.

Good job! That turntable turned out amazing

Thanks for this video! I had the same Rambo issue but with a different model. I tried knocking it around to see if it will joggle that component back in place, but that didn't work. Took apart the same part at 09:00 in your video and put it back together. Alas, that worked!

Thanks mate. Just fixed mine following your great video. Total success. $500 unit fixed for 80c! Thanks very much for posting this instructional.

Googone is nasty. Olive oil can work, takes longer but doesn't smell like it will make you blind. The labels on the glass containers easily peel off after small amounts of olive oil run down onto the label.

Imagine how easy it would be for the manufacturer to ad such a switch for almost no cost.

whats the goo gone like

Great job

I think you might have used a to tight of a belt! This can wear out the motor!

I had a similar turntable to this one LX-295 and I did the modification using a twelve volt adapter put in the back a jack for DC and got a 12 volt adapter and worked great!

Oh German roaches!

The three holes that are numbered are transit screws!

To be fair, on camera the paint job doesn't look all that bad. Glad to see you're getting back to posting more videos which is great. Happy 2025 and looking forward to the next ones!

Great vid thanks. I have some diodes on the way to attempt this repair myself. Really nervous about ripping it apart tho 😂

Helllllyeeeaah Thank you. Now I can fix my girlfriend's steamer and impress her

i have the same problem on my jvc a11 i even gave it to profesionals to service and same after the servicing i think its the flywheel moving form side to side but i have 0 clue how to change thrust on it

Had one of these Loved it! it was my last bridge camera before moving to a DSLR, Mine deterioated over time where eventually you'd but fresh batteries into it and it stopped turning on or would power on for a few mins. They took pretty decent images at the time.

A little bit of BRASSO can polish those contacts very well.

puncturing batteries? not of one of the safest practice to attempt, ever! 🥸

Great stuff thank you so much

by now you are married. I kept checking in and seeing you havent posted and wondered what happened. so congrats on the marriage and your new home. I hope you get settled in quickly. I think brits will have a harder time settling to the us vs us'ers settling into the uk. glad youre back. mic is fixed in camera video after. camera mic doesnt always sound great but happy for you!! add patreon. like I told you before.

Massive vitual hugs! My sons new game wasnt working and youve fixed it 🎉
