    Boombox with best cassette deck for recording and playing?

    Hi all, new to the forum, though I have been lurking for a while now. I am taking an opportunity across the country, to a much smaller apartment, so I have to downsize a majority of my equipment and audio collection. What I can't fit in the truck I'm not taking =[ I was thinking about how...

    I have a Nakamichi MR-1 that has developed a problem. The capstan loops the tape for about 5 turns then stops but the idle still rotating and start eating the tape.

It looked to be in excellent condition and it was labeled "working". Indeed, I put a prerecorded audio cassette into it...

    Yup. I picked it up on the bay because the ask was right and the system I got my sister with Thrift store finds in '93 or so is overdue for maintenance. (She wouldn't appreciate the upscale stuff. I have to keep her away from the Crosleys and High Fatality con jobs....) When I checked the...

    Technics RS-M222 record problem

    I was in the process of replacing the belts on the record/playback deck, but after reassembling all it would do was record. I cannot get sound to come out of it when playing a pre recorded album either. And suggestions? (Besides tossing it)
