Very good project friend, I have a query, how to enter the audio signal from the Bluetooth module to the sound system, thanks!

[@Albrecht8000]

PERFECT !!! :-) This is ideal for oldtimer with cassette radio - music never dies. I think in 10-15 years kids do not know what a "cassette" is. Greetings from germany

[@emvizet]

Not 10-15 years, my children seen cassettes in my cabinet an was very amazed.

[@dotmatrixmoe]

That's underestimation. If you show em enough of the last, their curious minds will stretch beyond such wonders. Just as the many young retro game collectors.

[@martinleska4292]

Charger module contains TP4056 chip. In this modules it is configured for 1A charging current. It is too much for tiny 150mAh battery. You should replace 1k2 resistor (1A current) to 4k7 resistor =250mA charging current.

[@TE.]

ok, thank's bro

[@VochoTalacha]

The actual cassette adapters have a connecting gear so both spools turn, because some cassette decks, especially the electronically operated ones, have a protection mechanism that keeps them from working if it doesn't detect that the feeding spool is turning, rendering this DIY project incompatible with those decks.

[@pkf4124]

Simply superb. Ideal for all the retro car owners who need to keep the original cassette radio in the car for originality.

[@neatt3815]

Not sure if it's possible, but instead of adding a charge port, you might be able to put a little motor inside the cassette so the deck spins it when you press play. This way it's completely self powered :)

[@greego5952]

This would be a brilliant idea! I will see if there's a small enough dynamo generator that would work. Edit: really dont think this will work. Tiny dynamos aint a thing

[@XapumoH]

Отлично!)) Как насчёт генерации в кассете зарядного напряжения для аккумулятора за счёт вращения колесиками катушек? --- Great!)) How about the generation in the cassette of the charging voltage for the battery due to the rotation of the wheels of the coils?

[@daviddrums9]

por que hay gente tan negativa o que se hace la graciosa, es algo clásico, que buen video la verdad, excelente trabajo =)

[@AudioTherapy0]

Second wheel should spin with another one because most cassette players will stop automatically because it will think that tape is tangled up. And also that head needs fine tuning if you want to get better quality sound (If your cassette player is stereo then one channel may be louder). But otherwise good job!

[@romanserdyuk9965]

there are many types of autostop system in cassette players. In this one there's very simple autostop which works as tape tension in the end of cassette playback pushes a small lever near the main playback head. And as far as there's no tape in this adapter, there's nothing to be pushed for engaging the autostop system in this primitive boombox. That's why autostop doesn't do its job in this video.

[@alexogle8950]

Sometimes, I watch your work and wince at how rough-and-ready it is. But by the end you have created something workable and beautiful (well, reasonably so) at the minimum cost. I doff my hat.

[@gastondesimone9656]

I just made one myself, following this video. I didn't know the magnetic head could be used to emit a signal, apart from reading it from a tape. And it sounds amazing in my Sharp 9494 boombox. I was frustrated when trying to upgrade many sharp boomboxes that does not have line in option. this has just solved my problem, thanks a lot for sharing!!!

[@AnalogBuddy]

Next time install the bluetooth board right inside the boombox - it's fast, much easier & doesn't need to recharge etc.

[@MeadowStargazer]

>I didn't know the magnetic head could be used to emit a signal How else do you think the tape recording works? It's literally the same head, just with the eraser head (electric magnet in good decks, permanent magnet in crappy ones) sitting before it, which demagnetizes the tape before it puts the new signal in.

[@kainplanda2780]

With a nice gearing and dynamo you can maybe power the whole thing (or load the battery) when the wheels are spinning

[@xaenon]

I did something similar with an 8-Track cartridge a few years ago. The neat thing about 8-track, though, is you don't need batteries to make the Bluetooth module work. In an 8-Track player, there are a set of contacts in the player that are used to 'sense' the metal foil on the tape to cause the mechanism to change programs. You need to step the voltage down for use with most Bluetooth modules, but it works quite well. You also need to adjust the head in the tape cartridge just right, and have the player set for a particular program as well.

[@brapcast]

Do you have any reference/photos you could send me? This is exactly what i am trying to do!

[@xaenon]

@@brapcast I'm sorry, I don't have any photos, and the adapter I built got sold with the console stereo I built it for. Basically, I gutted an old 8-Track head cleaner cartridge, hot-glued a Bluetooth module inside, and wired the output to the tape head from an old busted open-reel deck, similar to the way he does in the video. I used an old open-reel tape head because the audio tracks are wider and it's easier to align with the player's head. My BT module was built for 12V so I didn't need to step down the power, but most modules are for 5V, and to run one of those you'll need a voltage regulator. I improvised a set of contacts inside the tape cartridge to engage the sensor prongs on the 8-Track player and used those to provide the 12V. I strongly suggest you build a bridge rectifier into the circuit if you build one of these, because the polarity of those sensor prongs can vary depending on the player's manufacturer. A bridge rectifier ensures you won't get the wrong polarity at your electronics. The tape head was the hardest part of this - you have to carefully align it with the player's tape head, and that's a lot of trial and error. I built a sliding 'sled' to mount the tape head in with a piece of foam rubber behind it for tension. I 'shimmed' the tape head via trial and error until I got it to work, then epoxied the head in position on the sled. The sled still moves in and out to engage the player head, but it cannot be adjusted vertically. And it's important that you DO NOT CHANGE PROGRAMS while that cartridge is in the player, because that'll cause the tape heads to grind together - NOT GOOD. If I had to do this again, I'd simply build a second set of contacts for audio into the tape deck and put a corresponding set on the cartridge. It means the cartridge can only be used in that particular tape player, though. If done correctly, it shouldn't interfere with regular cartridges. Or, I could simply cheat, and tape into the amplifier's inputs to add a normal Bluetooth module.

[@ramchandravlog305]

बहुत सुन्दर ,मैं बहुत खुश हूँ ये कमाल का आविष्कार है From :- india this invention is awesome

[@AngelAngelescu]

How are you avoiding the auto-top mechanism since the second role is not spinning? Many tape players are monitoring the donor wheel to avoid breacking the tape.

[@iphonewhatsapp1862]

Nice, but would be nicer to have a dynamo to charge the battery with the spinning of the tape

I thought you were gonna use it in your car, but are such equipment easily sold and installed?!

[@marcusfred4480]

Very good sir. Very careful cutting away of certain parts of the cassette shell and overall very clean professional looking finish. Only one issue I can think of with this. Not all cassette players will like this cassette as they expect the other reel to be turning and will stop if this does not happen. I understand the design complications to solve this problem are not simple but what you have done is pretty impressive and it does work!! Well done! :)

[@iblesbosuok]

Cassette head preamplifier is deemphasizer (NAB, gain rolls off on higher frequency). So this adapter needs preemphasizer to compensate. Good job, dude. Cheers from Indonesia

[@satishvasane6812]

Many drawback, like poor quality etc. But good experiment.

[@bonnieblueman]

could the movement of the cassette in the player be used to charge the battery??

[@vgrepairs]

[@karenm6914]

No, is through the USB cable, like in the video showing, when the led is green then you finished the battery charge

[@TalenGryphon]

What is the song at the end? I'd still rather add bluetooth to my car's 80's OEM tape deck, but this is a seriously dope project

[@RadioWerwolf]

Good work. A little note: Some auto reversing mechanisms require both reels to spin or they go into endless reversing loop. So for such mechanisms, you may need to find a way to connect two reels so that they spin together.

If only this existed while cassettes were at their peak, this would've been so genius. It still is awesome if someone owns a cassette player.

[@Aetila]

Amazing work...I was dreaming of this! lol I wonder if a cassette deck will sound better with such a device, would be interesting to measure the frequency range.

[@praf4chat]

Very nicely done. One question though. In some of the cassette players, The playing gets stopped if one of two wheels stops rotating. In video i can see that first wheel is stationary. I think you should keep them both running, may be by connecting them by some means.

[@dovregubben78]

I read the comments to see if anyone had pointed this out. In most commercial tape deck adapters, this problem is solved by having the two reels connected by gears.

[@fireboostgamer9907]

How is it possible.? You planted the cassette player head into the cassette housing with all other equipment needed.. but the job of the player head is to read magnetic tape, how will it send signal from one head to another..

[@awanluna]

That cassete player head convert electric pulse into eletromagnet which the head in the radio can read.this tech is already commonly used in 3.5mm aux jack to tape adapter

[@JamesW81]

Cassette heads were also capable of recording to a tape, so there must be an output mode.

[@joelhammie6144]

Head player on casette touching head player on the stereo system? I'm confuse to bro how its possible?

Porque não adaptou um micro motor pra gerar 5v de energia com um capacitor, usando a própria rotação do radio?

[@AveCortes]

Fue lo mismo que pense

[@slavik919]

Про автостоп по обрыву пленки или по остановке подающего подкассетника автор явно не в курсах, как и про юстировку головки по высоте и азимуту. Он, блин еще и включает питание тыкая пальцем по рабочей поверхности головки. И, если автостоп еще можно как то обойти, то крутить головку на аппарате после каждого вставления/вынимания этой приблуды как-то не комильфо... Идея хорошая, но определенно требует доработки.

[@aksu250]

А где Вы видели автостоп по обрыву пленки? Можно пример? Это может в 001 классах аппаратуры? Так не про них в ролике))) IMHO Вы придираетесь к автору, ну молодец парень придумал хорошую вещь, но она цифрой шуметь будет IMHO опять же....

[@peterondreka7098]

Unfortunatelly most cassette decks check that both reels are turning to verify the tape is not torn. So you should find a way to connect both reels with a rubber band or similar.

[@Grenade80]

You should just press the pause button on tape deck to disable autostop :)

[@sbtuk731]

a simple rubber belt round both pulleys would fix that issue...

[@Grenade80]

no can do... because BT receiver is located between hubs (pulleys)

[@emvizet]

It will work not with all tape players. Many tape recorders/players have tape end/jam/break sensors based on roller rotation control. If one roller stops tape recorder/player stop playing and power off the tape driver and amplifier. Tape adapters usually have elastic ring or gears between rollers provide both rollers rotation.

[@jonaisepps1902]

Did you have to add any components to the radio itself after removing that piece or was it the same as if you put in a regular casset?? Also can i emal you? I want to do this with my boombox but i have 2 of those pieces you took out and dont know what to do now...one is a K27J (off to the right) and the other is a K26C (centered where yours was located)

[@dmitripetrov5536]

This will not work on all cassette players specially those with logical taype control system. Most highend dedicated cassette players and most car cassette players made after 1997 will not work with this convertor and will reject adapter as soon as inserted. Because two pulleys are free. Needs to add some wheel gears to turn both two pulleys proportionally together, same as when there is a cassette tape in the deck or player. If you look at the commercially made one, you will see gears and capstan rolling rubber wheel ( pinch roller) in the cassette adapter.

[@Ckat220]

Антон Баяр абсолютно согласен. Только хотел написать, что как раз это автор и не учел.

[@XapumoH]

Нечто подобное делал в своё время, вполне хватало проброса пассика меж колесиков тех. Ну и, ежели пошла такая пьянка, тогда уже привод использовать для заряда аккума, небольшой собственной генерации вполне хватит.

[@ElParachicoShow]

Wonderful👏👏👏💚

[@Ziryu2]

Awesome idea, even tho it already existed before. But how exactly did you bypass the tape protection mechanism? scince usually the playbackdevice of the cassette should stop when both ends of the cassette arent spinning (atleast in higher end devices like ur Sony CFS-1110S)

[@edikedgar3107]

на современных магнитолах это не прокатит, должны крутиться оба колесика , а не то магнитола будет попросту выплевывать кассету

[@Xenium_Q]

tried it. Because only one reel is spinning, my cassette player shuts down. Only modifying a cassette adapter with both reels geared solved my problem. Be careful ,not all cassette players can take up your version with only one reel spinning. Some will stop other will switch in reverse...

[@HX_The]

Correctly

[@lefiable85]

The 2000's generation : what is cassette?

[@АлександрМатвеев-щ8с]

Hi, I liked the idea, the most important thing is no operations with the radio. I will propose modernization, install a rubber band on the wheels (transmitting - receiving), some music centers have protection against breakage of the magnetic film. Привет, мне идея понравилась, самое главное никаких операций с магнитолой. Я предложу модернизацию, установить кольцевую резинку на колесики (отдающий - принимающий) некоторые музыкальные центры имеют защиту от обрыва магнитной плёнки.

Don’t try this!!!! I do electronics and there are parts missing to this and the sound will be bad. You need resistors after the head unit. Your better of buying one they are cheap to buy. Also don’t use this on expensive tape decks it will mess the head up in your machine. A tape head is for tape not for another metal tape head to smack down on it. After time it will damage and mark it. This is a bad design he is showing you here and does not know what he is doing, because if he did he would of put the extra components in it you need to make it sound right.

Vadim Anokhin Yeah great idea. What about a metal tape head smacking into another metal tape head? Do you think that will do it any good in the long run ?. Tape heads are design to play tapes and not have another head on top on it hitting downing on it. Plus the pitch roller is going round with no tape in it and that spinning round on the pitch rod.
