Update: The 2.2uf 50v tweeter capacitors arrived. Have some pictures but server error prevents placing them here (at any size). When forum accepts...
Nice update report :thumbsup: Lucky you had the old M70 tweeters just sat there to use. But what if you didn't have them? What new off the shelf...
Good question... some say the Sony CF-550. Maybe. Read this old discussion: What was the first one piece stereo boombox?
I was very curious what happened to his collection of expensive audio gear... all taken away / stolen by the social workers or Council people?...
And what does it say on the capacitor itself? What brand? Curious that's all. It has to be an off brand junk, not Nichicon, Elna, Rubycon etc.,
That's a great story! These "find my old boombox" mystery quests are good fun :thumbsup: Best of luck (I struggled to find the model of an old...

Interesting possibilities and some potential there. I don't know how much, or if at all, the speakers were carefully matched to the amp in these...

It will be a while before I open up this CF-480 again - waiting on 2.2uf tweeter capacitor. Will try to post video of FF and RW. But there is not...
Sony CF-480 (1976 according to Radio Museum page). I would never have got this from e-bay if I had known a CF-1990 (CF-490 outside Japan) was soon...

The Sony CF-480 I got from e-bay a month or so ago is in very good condition. The cassette mechanism works, FF and RW turn but weak, does not...
I have yet to even start work on my Sony CF-480... So, like the CF-1990 (CF-490), the CF-480 shares similar cassette mechanism with the orange /...
Just go onto e-bay and buy a 3khz test tape. There are quite a few available. Then download that free little program WFGUI. Put any tape into...
Had time to work on the Sony CF-1990 all day Saturday. 1.) Replaced all 3 cassette belts with new ones from turntableneedles. Here are the ones:...
