I purchased a Sony CFS-700 cassette player at the swap meet, but the cassette player is not working. I was quoted $75 to $135 to fix it. I cannot find what the Sony CFS-700 is worth and if I should fix it. If anybody has any information on the value of the Sony CFS-700 please let me know. Thanks for your help.
That seems a little steep.
Did they say what it needed to repair the cassette?
definitly fix it but have a go yourself....nothing to lose but a great box to gain...........good luck man
I agree with dave...chances are it's only belts...and that price does seem steep..welcome aboard man..
I don't think that is an easy boombox to repair. You risk breaking or losing something and then forget it -- no shop will fix, or be able to fix it. If you value it and don't feel comfortable with repairing it -- by all means just pay to have it done. If you've never rebelted a boombox before, this is not the one you want to start with. $75 - $125 may sound high. But keep in mind that we are only talking 1-2 hours shop time at that rate. If that is an unfamiliar boombox to the tech, it could take a lot longer than that.
Hmmm...just lookin' at that thing, I am inclined to agree with Norm. Just pay to fix it if u really like it and want to keep it. Looks awfully complicated to tear into...hell, I don't even think I could turn it on!!
