Yes indeed, your problem solving resolve will be tested in the repair process of these "puzzle machines"! Best wishes on the Quest.
Good luck! It's cool to get a stack of decks for a good low low price to experiment with. :thumbsup:
Sat besides the dumpster the other week was a Sony MHC-GX450 "mini component system". I walked past it. Next day it was still there and it had...
Sounds like maybe the repair shop is faulty too [ATTACH]
If it really is a WM-D6 (minus the C for Dolby C) then that is the more desirable early iteration with superior head. I know some disagree and...
E-bay to find incandescent grain of wheat bulbs. Or LED ones that will work with the supplied voltage.
OK so I finally found the mega-deal thread you were talking about! Great to hear you are getting into 3D. I have been toying with the idea for...
I really do hope they get it right, or at least much better, this time around with their CP15. Not necessarily because I will get one... but it's...
Belts that lasted from 1989 to 2025 = 36 years. That is usually not the case but seems true based on the other e-bay ad descriptions. I am curious...
How you obtained the working and functional GE 3-5477 would be an interesting story in itself :wink2 Just a random e-bay lucky draw? Buy a lotto...
Great overview of an old 90's MP3 player... makes me shudder though. 128 only and no ability to just drag and drop any old MP3 file....

To remove that belt from the capstan flywheel you need to get that metal bracket off the top right? It appears to be held with 2 screws... that...
Interesting. Surprising to see the quality level is higher this time around. It's honestly too early to say if I would ever buy such a...
These Panadonic "Cobras" are one of the few great sounding boxes that are worth working on though. I'd guess for something like 99% of boxes ever...
If you didn't change any belts or remove the capstans for cleaning then it is less likely or improbable the cam got out of alignment. It happened...
Sounds like you have to flip the cam that rotates the tape head. When changing the belts one has to observe the directionality of this cam and...
Work on cleaning the battery compartment. How bad is it? Put up a picture here and people will advise what methods are best to try.
One can only assume... that this behavior is due to the lack of a cassette - causing the sensor to indicate no cassette - and it behaves this way...
I don't remember exactly, even looking at my own pictures :biggrin: But I know I left them in place because I found it was not necessary to...
