I had to change the belts on the tape deck a couple years ago, it plays tapes about as good as you would expect from a boombox of the time, and yes it plays in stereo unlike the modern reproductions.

Very nice and informative video! Great job! While JVC surely made some heavy hitters, their competitors certainly weren't far behind. I guess it comes down to personal taste which manufacturer you prefer. Sanyo made some really unique and high-quality boomboxes as well. And let's not forget about the iconic Sharp GF series with the GF-777 being the flagship. I have been collecting vintage boomboxes for over 10 years now and have most of the bigger JVC models here including the 838 which is one of my favorites because it really paved the way for all the models that came after it. The RC-M90 is probably the indisputable king by JVC but I believe the RC-M70 is the better choice if you want something that you can actually use daily. It is one of the only models that usually still has all the original belts intact and the mechanical deck is built like a tank. Unfortunately it is becoming harder and harder each day to find these vintage machines in working condition. They usually need a full service and there's more to it than just changing the belts and applying some contact cleaner. A problem that is occurring more and more recently is the little metal brushes inside the potentiometers that break off. Sometimes the switched ne to be desoldered and taken apart to properly clean them because contact cleaner just won't do the trick anymore. Anyway, I hope people will keep these beautiful machines running for as long as possible! I will certainly do my best to preserve the ones I have. :)

Hello my Friend! @08:30 you did not mention that the Binding posts for the external speaker allow to connect them Externals in 2 different ways! First Connection is, to ADD the external speakers to the internals, and the second way (by turning the Plug for 180°) is, that you plug in the external Speakers-and the internal Speakers are shut off! It just depends on how you plug the Cables in. The Flat Contact is always the middle Contact. and the small round Contact is the "switching" Contact, that tells the Boombox whether the internals run with, or are shut off. Just turn the plugs for 180° and so it switches or not... With the internals running, it seems to create a stronger "Center Image", And this Idea was pretty cool for the late 1970ies (lol... MY Time when I began to be an audiophile first). Bytheway: You had big luck with your journey to Japan! If you had waited too long, you wouldn`t be allowed to travel, due to the Virus that we don`t dare to speak out its name!

But to come back to the Boom Box: It would be really great if you would test the external speakers in the two different configurations.

My only disappointment is that the VU metters are volume dependent and don't show the actual tape recording level and they are not illuminated - definitely a mod worth doing about that.

This guy. 😂 ‘this is the woofer’ …. No, that’s a standard mid range which will handle the lows and midrange, it’s not a woofer though. ‘This is the tweeter that takes care of midrange and highs’ ….. No, a tweeter only does the highs. ‘I can tell its metal from the feel’ ….. no, mostly plastic with some knobs that might have a thin metal skin. REC/PB. … This clearly stands for RECORD / PLAY BACK so both ways however if it’s anything like the RC M70, it doesn’t work exactly like an RCA IN/OUT as you need the Tape to be recording to hear the INPUT (however it’s simple to get around this) . The BEAT CUT is for MW and not SW as you stated. JVC didn’t licence the Dolby system and most people who play Dolby tapes tend to turn it off so it’s not a big issue, I believe some JVC models used their own noise reduction that was comparable with Dolby B (I may be wrong though) . For the tape, 40-13Khz is actually good enough for most people’s ears especially adults, and is actually far better than the rubbish they produce today. This is a very nice clean example, very nice 👍.
