Quite a bit of work fixing and bringing this AKAI M9 back, mostly cleaning - but still. Here's the link where you can get a knob: hifijam.etsy.com I'll add a link to the files if you have your own printer soon.

Nothing to see ere' just a simple and easy cassette deck repair, nice to have something go smoothly every once in a while, haha.

Well, I'm certain my decision to make permanent modifications on this old cassette deck won't be controversial at all. Nonetheless it was a ton of fun learning how to add rechargeable batteries to this portable cassette recorder and making the power source for those batteries be from USB-C, well all the better. Enjoy!

A wonderful example of mid-century aesthetics and design. In the catalogue for this Panasonic dubbed this the 'Impressivo!' which is certainly an apt name for this as it is 40lbs with 4 speakers built it, enabling you to be the hit of any party you bring this to! This was a fun restoration and am glad I could get working and looking as good as I could. I don't think this was very common as I co...

Enjoy the horrible pun in the title and the use of an interrobang. This cool piece of kit is used for recording over precious irreplaceable 8-Track recordings without a second though or remorse. In all seriousness this was fun to bring back to life and it is actually really good at what it does. Hope you all enjoy! Thanks! STL for the gear thing: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5646438

Weird mid 70's piece of kit I've found, a reel to reel that can transfer to and from a built-in cassette deck. Never heard of something like this, but I actually really like it and I especially like that I only paid $20 for it. Fairly straightforward repair and restoration that I hope you also enjoy.

May have bit off more than I can chew with this one, it has a lot more talking than any of my prior videos and a lot of electronic troubleshooting, so if that's not your thing feel free to click away. Otherwise, I learned a great deal about receivers and amplifiers taking this apart and getting it play music again; so, I hope you enjoy and maybe learn something as well.

I've been watching this 8 Track player for some time, decided to finally pick it up and see what 8 tracks are all about. They actually sound surprisingly good; I believe they run at a faster speed than the compact cassette, and they are also a source of some incredible funk from that era haha. This was a pretty straightforward repair, even if the cause of the error is lost on me and working on ...

Hey man, what's a picture if not just music for your eyes. Great little camera salvaged from a thrift store, easy enough to repair and bring back into working order.

Found this one on eBay, wasn't all that interested at first, but the seller offered me a good price a figured it'd be worth a shot to repair it. This is the first CD player I've attempted to fix, and I think it went quite well. Granted the largest problem I had to fix could have been caused by me, but hey that's just part of the fun hah. I don't think I will be picking up any more CD players, u...

Found this at the usual getting spot, $15 for a cassette deck is the cheapest I've seen yet, especially given its age and irregardless that it doesn't work. I especially like this one as it has a lot of neat features that none of my other decks have. For example, it has a dual direction head, that allows it to both playback and record the tape without having flip the tape, s well as Dolby C noi...

This is a Modular Component Systems 8602 Automatic Turntable; I got it from the local vintage electronics store for $50, which I think is quite a bit for a broken turntable, however when there they informed me that they had already replaced the belt, so that's something I don't need to replace. The functional part of the repair was extremely straight forward and almost too easy - the cosmetic f...

This is a 1968 Sony TC-560D reel to reel tape player. I found it at a local vintage electronics store and they we're selling it for $20 as a parts machine. This is my first experience with an open reel machine, and I very much doubt it will be my last. It is a beautiful machine that was a joy to restore. I did later oil the capstans with sewing machine oil. Also, in regard to modifications I ma...

A Harmon Kardon drawer loading cassette deck; I got it 'for parts or repair' on eBay for $20. I thought it would take more effort to get working judging by the number of screws that were missing, someone obviously had a go at it before. I can't find much information about this cassette deck online, at least in the usual places, and I have very rarely seen one with a CD-like drawer mechanism. It...
