I remember getting the album on LP!
I am presently auditioning a copy of This Is The Moody Blues. The J-card is old cardboard and dated 1974. I was as careful as I could be but the...
Good luck with this - more than luck required but a little always helps. And I just remembered a box with 4 HSJ202 machines collected years ago...
Another one of those things I never knew I wanted. Until now!
With you on tapes over vinyl - for me, it's the sheer effort of finding tapes these days that makes them all the more worthwhile.
I added the notes below to a post about a problem with DRM800A. DR-M30HX appears to have a similar mecha so this may be applicable: These decks...
These decks (DRM800, in my specific experience) seem to have a general weakness in that the *supply* spindle's axle can creep forward out of its...
I should have been clear about the construction of the cassette! Screwed ones, pretty easy; glued ones, often a matter of luck (or age) as to how...

I will try to upgrade my search engine to a hope-driven one :nwink:
Thank you Mister X. That's exactly what I need. No search I've done has brought that up!
I'm aware of two basic types of pressure pad in cassette tapes. Type 1, I'll call it, is a thin pad mounted on a thin & springy piece of metal....
To be quite "crude" you could just use the sticky part of a Post-It note!
One good (and relatively low effort) avenue to explore early in the fixing process for just about any boombox is to "exercise" the control that...
Elementary question, but: is the belt fitted correctly?
Many of my recent boombox restorations have required removal and disassembly of these slide switches in order to clean and/or fix the internals....
Neat though it lacks those details that made mid-80s Walkmans so enticing?
Check you haven't misconnected or created an unwanted short circuit?
Thank you. I have a quad of HSJ202 corpses - with battery gondola and vinyl case - waiting for reanimation.
Thanks but no.
