    Belt Replacement for Sansui SC-1110 (and similar)

    I just resurrected my old machine hoping to transcribe some old tapes to the computer, but of course the drive belt has the consistency of freshly chewed liquorice and the other three belts have lost the will to be 'belty'. So, here's how to do it. It is a bit fiddly but doesn't need special...

    Teac AD-RW900 ???

    I'm not entirely sure I'm posting this in the correct forum, but I'll give it a shot.

Like, never used brand new...

    A couple years ago I came down with the sickness, leading me to begin purchasing large amounts of vintage audio gear (speakers, receivers, record players, 8 track players, vintage alarm clocks, consoles, records) . I reasoned that I would find what I like and flip the rest. I am now dealing with...

    Philips N4504 hum

    I recently bought a second hand Philips N4504 reel to reel tape deck. It sounds OK when I plug my headphones directly in to the tape deck, however there is a loud hum when listening through my amp with RCA cables connected. Any thoughts?

    Hi, I've got a Fisher Rc-80 with the left VU meter pegged and high-pitched noise coming from the speakers. I'm convinced it's the rcrd\play switch assembly, but I'm not sure what I need to clean. I have spent an hour looking at the interior, but I'm not certain what exactly needs cleaned...
