I've got a 1987 Technics CD player. Still going strong - the drawer just needs a little bit of encouragement to move - don't we all! Cheers, Chris - I enjoy your electronics tinkering and fixing.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks FF. Yep, we all certainly do as we slowly but surely wear out! 🤣🤣

[@Th3Pr0digalS0n]

Nice repair. So many times its a mechanical fix on these digital devices. Never hurts to poke around the insides, so long as its unplugged.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Yes, very often mechanical, especially belts etc as the rubber doesn't age well! Thanks mate 😊

[@unclejackstoolshed4513]

Great job again, Chris. You have talent!

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks mate - talent at flying blind and stumbling through to success (sometimes!) 🤣

[@afineliner740]

Another great job Chris. I really like this series of e-waste fix Its. I am learning a lot. 👍

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Alex! I have lots to do, so may as well film them all! 👍😊

[@andyc972]

Another good save Chris, tubber belt the culprit again, I guess it's not so bad as a relatively easy fix apart from getting that blasted front panel off ! There is one UK eBay for £80 currently ! They built them differently back then, I've got a 1980s Denon unit and it's built like a battleship and still going strong !

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Andy! Yeah, that front panel sure put up a fight! The vintage units were much better quality indeed! 👍😊

[@freedomfighter8958]

Awesome repair done

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks FF 👍😊

[@frostieone]

First time watching ! easy watch! Well done! Thanks Ken

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Many thanks Ken, glad you enjoyed it! 😊👍

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

Good job Chris. I ordered a mix bag of belts on eBay from china. After waiting 10 weeks I got refund. I got for nearly half the price from Temu and had them in a week. Cheers Graham.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Graham, I'd better order some today - there's a fair chance I'll need some soon!

[@RetifsGarage]

Well done, did repair a few with the same problem, I changed the belts, would maybe get a flask of those nasty chemicals that seems to do the job 😊

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks Retif, yes the rubber renew certainly seemed to do the trick!

[@jasejj]

These Philips players with TDA1541 DAC are worth good money as some people like the sound quality of these old things (I'm not convinced myself but definitely a keeper).

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Yeah it was hard to gauge sound quality through those little speakers Jason, but I'm sure it would sound great through a good amp/speaker combo! 😊👍

[@georgemartinezjr]

You could also soak the Belt in Gycerine from the Drug Store

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Thanks George, another good option I believe 👍😊

[@gazzmanp]

Hey! I have one if those in my storage unit. It's Magnavox branded from Canada but exactly the same

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Yep, I think I saw some Magnavox ones the same. Presumably re-branded from Philips! 👍

[@deej4101]

👍Who knew that Nagambie had a private hospital for ailing DVD and VCR/VHS players, one where miracle cures are offered?

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

.. and I bulk bill! 🤣 Thanks Dee!

[@geofft3214]

Hula in the shed! 😆

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Haha, never to be played again Geoff!! 😲🤣
