    what’s 1 mans trash is another mans treasure! I bought a JVC M90 on eBay from a man that says a tenant he was renting too left it behind for $249. It’s fully functional with the exception of a dead tape deck. I’m not getting a response from the tape deck at all.

    You will need to rotate the flywheel to reset the heads. No response with a broken belt is not unusual

    M90’s have a few fusible resistors in the tape deck that can blow if a belt goes. Mine is the same

    You’re in the States I’m guessing. Don’t know as I’m in the UK, sorry

    Nice find! I do repairs. You can look at my website here: www.songbirdaudio.net. I'm an electrical engineer that works in the aerospace industry, i'm detail oriented, and have a passion for boomboxes. I charge $28/hour plus you pay shipping and cost of schematics if available. You get to keep the schematics when i'm finished. Thanks and feel free to send me an email if you are interested.
