EARLY BOOMBOX HACKING :speed to9,5 cm/sec

I just remember:More than thirty years ago ,I had a friend owning an Aiko-atpr401 mono radio cassette radio,without problems he doubled the speed of the motor and got a fantastic sound from that box!

Similar stories from others?

now that is absolutely brilliant. i mean i would never in a million years have thought of doing something like that,but it makes total sense.
i bet it must have sounded good.
now do you have any friends who managed to make a tape echo out of a boombox.Smile

i've done that before it was done by opening the boombox and mess with the speed controller. all cassette players have that.. i learned that the faster the motor goes when recording, the better the quality. but theres a drawback. you will get less songs recorded into your cassette because higher sound quality requires more space

its like an mp3. you need more disk space for better sound quality. or a blu ray disc which has 20GB and you see that the video and sound quality is superb and clear.

i think a 60 min audio cassette equals to either 32, 64 or 128MB im not too sure but i know its not more than 128.
