Awsome restorations Watch the restoration of an antique KENWOOD Cassette Deck X 76 rescue sound equipment. In this video I am repairing a X76-generation cassette deck from KENWOOD, a famous Japanese audio label. I accidentally discovered it on a drive along the banks of a river. Kenwood's audio equipment was amazing, they miraculously survived their electronics so well. I have restored the cassette deck to the original state and it is now in full working order.

As a person that has fixed many electronic devices found at the dump, the odds of this being real are EXTREMELY slim. The amount of water damage/corrosion was excessive, and the type of tester you used(analog), as well as how you were testing the IC's, and that horrible soldering iron, said enough. He probably swapped internal parts from a used unit purchased on Ebay to give the illusion it was repaired.

[@JerryDodge]

There's surely parts of the process which weren't included in this video, such as cleaning the motors. However, WD-40 does wonders.

[@electronicsNmore]

@Jerry Dodge 100% certain the video was a scam. I would know, I've been working with electronics for decades.

@@electronicsNmore I work with electronics too, and I've seen plenty of crazy impossible restorations. Surely this board needed to be re-capped, but I didn't see that happen. Maybe it was done behind the scenes.

For me, there are 2 major points to be taken from this video. Firstly, my absolute respect for all the designers and engineers, all of them, from this Kenwood through to Nakamichi, who were able to make these intricate, precision machines, and on a mass scale. A truly great achievement. Secondly, what is it in a person’s mind that makes them want to take so much time and effort, to produce such a fake video? That worries me. Anyone with any knowledge of restoration or electronics (especially tape machines) can see straight through this.

[@GTI1dasOriginal]

I've restored vintage audio equipment for the last 15 years or so, TT's, RTR's, tuners, amplifiers and so on. And I can tell you: a cassettedeck (even in undamaged state) is the most difficult piece of equipment to get running properly. IF salt water has gone into the heads, the motors, and the capstans, bearings, etcetera like shown in this video, it's IMPOSSIBLE that it runs and plays like it does at the end of the video. 1 example why this video can't possibly be legit: Inside the heads there are copper wires (the coils) which are absolutely destroyed when exposed to (salt) water. Another one? trimmers. (aka VR's, Variable Resistors) IF they corrode, they make (worst case) a dead short or do nothing at all and serve as pass through (zero ohm) (when in audiopath) resulting in dsitortion beyond belief. Another one? ok.. the powersupply. SHOULD be totally corroded in this scenario, leaving a dead short when plugged in, thus: going up in smoke. Even IF... all the components were salvaged and restored, a cassettedeck operates within tight tolerances, if ONE thing is off (if it's a capstansize, a belttension, one small spot inside a trimmer or whatever) it doesn't perform like it should. You sir, are a fraud. There, I said it.

[@uzodinman358]

Good day. Your comments on this video seem to be well informed and experienced. At the end of your commentary on the difficulty of restoring analog era electronics, you stated: “You, sir, are a fraud. There, I said it.” That seems bold. But maybe you speak with authority. In any case, you seem to have the sort of expertise that I need. I have a LASONiC DTS-98. It is an apparently rare, dual-cassette-deck boombox with a digital tuner that tunes shortwave. (Scores of boomboxes were designed and built in the late 1970s through the early or mid 1990s that could tune shortwave. But they were almost always analog-tuner models that often had no more than two shortwave bands for at best passable shortwave-tuning ability. The relative rarity of digital tuner boomboxes that can tune shortwave is part of what drew me to the LASONiC DTS-98.) The trouble is, this vintage machine arrived from its eBay seller in Russia with what seems like significant internal damage to its electronics. There is a scary thump heard and felt when one tilts the centre block of the boombox far enough forward or backwards. It seems that the entire assemblage of electronics were completely jarred loose during shipment from Russia to America or from JFK Airport in New York City to our home here in the southeastern United States. There was NO “FRAGILE: HANDLE WITH CARE” warning sticker anywhere on the shipping carton. The description of the contents of the carton was the same as the eBay listing of the item. The limited English of the seller probably couldn’t be understood by the Russian cargo handlers. And the lack of globally recognized red warning stickers did not instantly caution the Russian or American handlers. The boombox worked in all the videos that the seller filmed of the boombox in use after I started communicating with him on eBay. But the stereo did not work at all when I got it here in our home in December 2019. So something happened to the boombox between the filming of the last video of the working LASONiC DTS-98 and when the seller shipped the boombox to me last November. I had wanted to examine the interior of the boombox with an Android USB inspection borescope that I bought from China on Amazon. But after repeated failure to order the correct connectors, I don’t think that such a device can attach to my BLU VIVO smartphone. (Maybe I need a more expensive smartphone.)(SIGH) I don’t know if that seller will find this comment and jump in to defend himself. But let me ask: can you open my LASONiC DTS-98 and reattach the loose parts and get it working again? I don’t want to try any repair work myself. I’m not “technically inclined”; the “lead balloon” success of my trying to repair the jammed cassette-deck mechanism of my Aiwa CS-600U has made that clear LOL. (I must also say that there are no schematics for repair work.) I wonder, though: do you live in Germany or elsewhere in Europe? (I somehow have that feeling …) If the answer is “yes,” I probably can’t use your expertise; the shipping costs would be too high. (SIGH) I already suspect that you might say: “No, I don’t do repair work for various customers.” If that is the case, do you know of anyone here in America who can repair this stereo for me at a cost I can afford? Repairers of these electronics are so hard to find nowadays. Hobbyists on boombox websites won’t necessarily be able (or willing) to help. Well, this message is already SO long. Have a good day.

Some comments: a) No one who has serviced a tape deck ever, would use the kind of tools shown in this video. b) No one who has worked with modern electronics, would use a soldering gun, nor a cheap and badly calibrated Sangwa analog multimeter. They are of no value. c) The way the tape transports were disassembled would make then very hard to make them work again. At 14:27 the "restorer" confuses the cassette shell sensors with PCB retainers and try to remove them, also at 16:11 you see the "restorer" is using a hammer to remove the capstans, without even noticing the circlips retainers for each one. He just removed them by brute force. That´s not the way an electronics technician would disassembly the tape transports. d) After all that disassembly, the deck would require a full alignment of both transports. How was that done? How I think this video was produced: The end part of the video, were the deck is performing, was recorded *before* it was dumped on the river. After that, the video producer just removed the top cover, drove to the river, and left the deck abandoned there for several weeks to make it rust away. Then he recovered it, and just recorded the part about cleaning, dissasembly, and so on. That´s why the video doesn´t show the step by step process of reassembling and calibrating the deck, because that part was never performed, nor was intended to be done.

Yeah. The scratches on the clear plastic also magically disappear near the end

[@l.s.9980]

Also, what you didn't mention: how did he actually cleaned the motor? As much as I believe that electronic components can survive being exposed to elements, I have a hard time believing that the motor needed only on exterior cleaning. Maybe he cleaned it inside too but video doesn't show it. Nevertheless, although the guy knows his thing, he could definitely improve his skill by investing in proper tools. I've restored a number of decks in the past however, none were with this much mud inside.Also, there are a number of components as part or the transport mechanism that would definitely not survive covered in mud. But the real question here is: the top cover is held in place by at least 4 screws, sometimes 6, so i don't understand why would someone take off the top cover and dump the deck in one spot then the cover few meters away? I you don't need something, you just dump it, end of story. And the cover shows no damage either.

@@deanfarr3249 Except it's not real. You can even see the damage and corrosion on the exterior at 4:37 that disappeared at 32:42 that was plainly obvious after he cleaned the unit, and no he didn't paint anything, since that would have obliterated the labels on the rear panel. There are people posting here who do professional restorations for a living or hobby (self included) that actually know what goes into a REAL restoration. The amount of work required to restore a 30 or 40 year old piece of equipment can be extensive even if it's been safely tucked away on a closet shelf for years much less sitting for months in muddy water. The whole video is BS. Yea using an old analog meter probing random spots on the circuit board is just SO convincing. The transport was completely trashed from all the corrosion, those motors would never spin up properly again, the tape heads would be destroyed from this abuse not to mention the solenoid for the reverse mechanism on the head. Cleaning all the electronics with tap water? What a joke. Unlike milspec parts (which we use in the aerospace industry) that are hermetically sealed, consumer grade parts aren't and the minerals in the water will most certainly cause issues with ICs and semiconductors. You CAN clean using water but it has to be distilled or de-ionized water and would require a 4 hour bake-out at 60C (140F) for at least 4 hours. Pure isopropyl alcohol is the preferred cleaner and STILL requires a bake-out. Why doesn't he test any of his projects before putting the cover on? Who in there right mind wouldn't test a unit before throwing it all back together? A BS artist that's who! Yea, just worked perfectly with no adjustments or parts replacement the first time.

Hello, Terry Southwood. I live in the southeastern U.S. I’ve got this vintage LASONiC DTS-98, a big, pretty rare dual-deck boombox with a digital tuner and detachable speakers that I got from Russia on eBay. It worked in KZbin videos that the seller made, but it doesn’t turn on at all when you plug it in. It looks decent on the outside, but it’s probably got pretty bad damage inside: components jarred loose, maybe an ICB or two broken. (There’s a scary, heavy thump you hear and feel when you tilt the centre block.) There are NO schematics. And you said in your January 2020 comment: “I’ve repaired such stuff for a living.” So maybe you’ve quit that line of work: the long hours, tough to find spare parts, etc. But maybe you know someone else who can help me out…?

And yet. Here we all are watching it.

[@croolis]

I don't know why everyone is saying that the video is fake .. it looks real enough to me and all adds up. This is part of a midi system which is why it has no transformer inside it. The perfect looking case (which was rusted) was cleaned and then sprayed so that's why it looks OK. The plastic front wasn't badly scratched up, just very dirty .. however the partly erased Kenwood logo at the beginning of the video is still there on the final finished deck. Everything indicates this is genuine.

[@sincerelyyours7538]

Looks legit to me. He did a remarkable job cleaning off all the rust and crud. It is quite possible with diligence to get such a discarded deck in working condition. HOWEVER, note that the "working condition" in this case included distorted audio from the right cassette deck only (I didn't see him demo the left one) and it appeared that it would not play in the reverse direction. I'd call that a partial success at best. Fortunately there are not many pots to clean in a dual cassette deck and it runs on 14V AC (usually tapped off a Kenwood power amp) so no power supply to worry about, but changing the caps might fix some of the distortion.

[@loulew2]

I thought this one was impossible. You've certainly got some skills...

[@thetechgenie7374]

This tape deck video is also faked? Look at when he removed the alignment screws for the heads, you would have to do a full alignment and not something you can do with just a analog meter he shows. Dead giveaway is bottom casing taken from a different deck and not the one he pretended to grind away at. Notice he edits the video at that point. PCB board is also from another deck and not the same one he pulled. Ask any tech in your area and show them video and they will tell you it is faked. Watch his Acer laptop video and if you know anything about computers you know it is fake as he did a poor job faking that one to the point a lot of people in comments called him out on it and any tech will tell you it fake. He likely bought another exact model off eBay, or somewhere and switch it and showed the rusty transport and etc to make it look real and then put the good parts back in the end and showed it working and cleaned up. He screw up as you can clearly see he used a different bottom casing and main PCB logic board is different, he had to do that to make it look like he restored it. I hate guys like this as they take away from real techs and engineers that do this for a living. Yes I am a engineer and work on complex stuff regularly. No I not going to work on a rusted tape deck, or laptop that not worth anything just to get views off it look rusted and magically like new again. Any tech savvy friends you happen to know just show them the video and they will hopefully tell you it is faked as well as point out his mistake and reason it will never work. Better just watch his Restoration a damaged Acer Laptop video.

My excuses if I am wrong, but that is my professional oppinion only by watching the video.

[@wahyung9669]

The extent of the corrosion looks like salt water, who knows some one could had accelerated the process further with battery acid. I can imagine how those trim pots will be very noisy and yet it was not replaced in the video. It would of made it more believable if he showed actual testing not fake testing, that is not my way of testing diodes. Have no idea why at the ending he needed a volt check with the lid closed 33m 11s when I expect a fully restore unit, seeing he went to that much trouble, where is the passion? (Yes, I can see the PSU is missing originally). If he was genuine you would seen his workshop and commentary on all the fault finding dramas together with a service manual explanation.

I admire your patience to restore goods. You also need a lot of a fresh visual memory (or shoot a bunch of photos). BUT... since you chose to do this, you should do it right. You could spray paint the bare metal with flat grey to give it the original look. Factory condition would be to galvanize them as they were in the beginning. But a couple of flat spray paint would do too to protect that bare metal against rust and oxidation. And no glue gun to be used trying to repair wires. Instead, you could use shrinking tube. Just do it right, man! The rest... is art! Good luck!
