Nice looking deck with a silver face. The ridged rubber wheel at the bottom of the capstan for changing the head height cam was slipping. Epoxy to the rescue.

Sounds about as you would expect, but not terrible.

This truckstop bootleg 8 track is going to be a problem. https://imgur.com/gallery/IvPhlvS

The previous cassettes I fixed just needed new pads and cleaning. I've been saving this one until I understood how the cassettes work. It jammed up months ago after about 1 minute of play.

I'm just sitting here staring at it.

Kia Ora. I'm an expat having a talk with family back home about good news sites. I warned them about stuff.com. I remember stuff.com posting several stories straight from this sibreddit. But I can't remember which ones or how to find them. Does anyone here have links to those threads? Thanks.

Been rocking a pair of Optimus-1 for a couple of years, sound pretty good for the size and age. My kids just cranked up my Nikko NR-1019 receiver to the max and pressed play on my tape deck.

Blew one of the bass drivers completely, smells of burning and the coil is dead :( Other drivers don't sound too great either.

So god dammed upset, might be an excuse to get either a pair of Realistic Mach ones, or Pioneer HPM-100. Any suggestions for rocking speakers with tight bass, the speakers I mentioned are real pricey on ebay.

I have a few pre-recorded albums with great art work that I would like to put on the wall or a shelf to display.
Need to have easy access since I play them regularly.

Any ideas out there?

The quiet village is my current favorite, gotta love that cover.
