    Vintage Sennheiser HD 414 behaving weird

    I got myself a pair of Sennheiser HD 424 some years ago. With aftermarket strange blue hard foams (see photo) which I replaced with NOS yellow ear pads. Lovely headphones to use while at work, etc. Fast forward to last week. Visited the local thrift store and found a pair of Sennheiser HD...

    '89 Sony Tape Deck WR-510 Not Spooling?

    Hi all, just found an old WR-510 from the thrift store this evening. It seemed to be working fine; it rewinds, fast forwards, and "plays"... And when I mean play, it actually plays except the tape that is read simply collects in the bottom of the deck and after 10-15 seconds, the tape player...

    Replacing internal fuse in Technics SA-300 receiver

    Hi all. Pardon my incredible ignorance here. My understanding of electronics is as basic as it gets. The lights and FM signal strength meter do not function, and I suspect that it has to do with the internal fuse (not the speaker fuses on the back of the unit). The text next to the fuse says...

    Pioneer RX-511 Stereo Casette Tape Deck Receiver won't play tapes.

    I'm going to assume that this is a common problem with Pioneer's RX line of dual tape deck/receiver combos, because I've seen this problem mentioned with others from the line.
