    ALPAGE AL-300

    Dear all, I am looking for a RESET button for an ALPAGE AL-300 tape recorder. I am missing the silver cover, but a fully functional mechanism would also work. If anyone has this part, I would appreciate it if you could contact me. I am attaching a photo of the button I am looking for.

    Sony TC-K679ES Belt Replacement

    I've started slowly and carefully disassembling my TC-K679ES deck, only after watching Youtube repair videos multiple times.

    Dead tape deck

    Hi again After successfully reanimating my old Technics tape deck I figured I'd try and do the same thing for my dad's RS-X902. The original problem was that the device would randomly stop playback or turn the tape, apparently thinking it had reached the end. So I went and replaced all the...
