    Sony TC-W365: Any good?

    I felt like adding a tape deck to my stereo setup, and my dad had a TC-W365 lying around. I replaced some floppy belts and it seems to be running fine. He says it's just a decent deck, nothing special. I have no clue how good it is aside from that. All I can really add is that the build quality...

    Hey Guys, Thanks for accepting me into the community. I picked up one of these cassette players for pretty cheap on eBay, and it worked for a few months.

    Nakamichi LX-3 – Delayed start, looking for help

    Well, actually it was found by Peter Griffin. The good news is the part I’m referencing begins about 5 seconds into the clip. Thought you guys and gals might get a kick out of it.

    In servicing this unit, I replaced the Idler Tyre and the belts via Marrs and the unit seemed to work great for the first 90 minutes or so but went back to a slower speed. Any thoughts? best Rich

    My cassette deck stopped working... So I've started using this.

    Yes, there are different classes of quality when it comes to cassette decks. One one side we have the high end, with 3 heads, the best version of Dolby at the time, tons of options and controls. Then on the other side, we have the plastic "junkers" This is pretty obvious hahaha. But my point is...

    Hey all, I've got a beautifully restored CT-F950 that I got on ebay and have had for over a year. Unfortunately, in the last few weeks, it's started chewing up tapes. The tape will skew off the left pinch roller and get annihilated by the cassette's guide roller until the machine either stops or...
