Lucky man - well done! 2 days ago I`ve manage to get sony fh909r (with no speakers and deck) however , the sound is fantastic

[@pescado99]

I know. A BIG part of me wanted to keep this beauty, but common sense prevailed... Well done getting a FH909R.

Great video!

I'm have the 1996 Sony MHC-E80X but only controller and amplifier section still working. The cassette and CD section were dead more 15 years ago.

[@pescado99]

Ahh, that was a very pretty bit of kit. Although I confess I like the square 'blockiness' of this model. If you still have the CD, it may be worth it to replace the laser module and the belts. I bought a mixed 1mm square belt set, just waiting for them to arrive to change the belt for a new one!

[@bukeksiansu2112]

​@@pescado99 I think I can't repair it, I have no engineering skill. So now the controller and the amplifier section I just use for PC audio amp. Almost 30 years this machine, time flash so fast. xixixi.

I have this type, I have a problem with the yellow bulbs lamp, how does it become a green color at front display?

[@pescado99]

It is because of the colour of the LCD panel.

[@df4904]

@@pescado99 mine has some kind of negative polarization on the front and back of the LCD, I hope you make a documentary video to see the LCD box

[@BirdHands]

are the bulbs 6 or 12 volt? and are the AC or DC?

[@pescado99]

12 volt. Supply is DC, but for globes it doesn't matter.

Sony Mini Hi Fi. Nice system.

[@pescado99]

It sure is! Still sounds awesome after all these years.

[@janath9118]

@pescado99 It's good to hear it from you and that's Sony quality. You are lucky to own it! I had a Sony FH 322R (without a CD Player) which I bought in early 90's. It worked well but it went ka-put few years later.
