hi guys, I'm not posting very often here, but I'll work on that ! So another cool story , you won't believe ! End of october Christophe, one of my best friends, phone me and told me to come and have a drink, and that he'll give me a JVC boombox he found staying there in his local recycling center... I was thinking it was a modern one like this Thomson (french brand) I found in my local recycling center 2 days before (will make a bluetooth mod on this one for my son) : But after 2 glasses, he brang me this M70 !!! I didn't believe my eyes ! Just the 2 antennas missing, and a scratch on the metallic plate in front of the tape recorder keys... It works (potentiometers are scratchy, and of course the belts are dead). And with my first one : Thanks a lot Christophe !!! I think I'll made some mods to this one later (I didn't on the other) like leds, BT... I already cleaned it inside and outside, changed the belts, so the tape player works OK now. I cleaned and put some special grease in the linear pots, but I have to work on them (2 have a dead contact point)...
Great find! About 1/3 of my boxes need antennas, I'll pick up a set every once in a while off Ebay, luckily there always seem to be a lot for sale.
Maybe I should do that, but a M90 isn't easy to find. I think I'd better wait that my friend find one in his recycling center, this could happen within 10 or 20 years (I'm not in a hurry)
