      There is nothing more convenient than a round connector that also rotates when plugged in. If it had not been supplanted by wireless technologies, it would have been relevant for another 100 years.

    A fantastic restoration.
    Now i first through it was from sony but as i was looking closer it turned out to be from sanyo🤣
    Also i first throught that yellowish white was it’s original color.
    And since it dates back to 1985 i throught that color fits pretty well because of it’s age.
    Especially since i will see the color yellowish white in front of me once i will think about the year 1985🤣

    • @Repair3R

    • @Repair3R
      @Repair3R  26 дней назад

      I think it wasn't constantly wet, it was just once poured with something "foamy" through the top, where the buttons are. The rust is not deep. If it had been constantly wet, the corrosion would have eaten away the tracks on the board.

    • @Repair3R

      I agree, these things need to be preserved, as their era of rarity is approaching. For example, cassette players like yours or mine are becoming so rare that it’s hard to find even one or two for sale on eBay

      Yes my friend, I agree with you. I also sometimes remember things that bring back memories of my youth. The player was always with me )

    I had the MGP-17 yellow one. Just a Two belt problem. Could you tell me what size of the two belt? Thanks for your video. It's great 👍🏻

      Thanks for watching. Sorry, I don't know the sizes. I picked them out by trying them on from a large set.

      "Aiwa" I read about this company, they were cool guys. Founded in 1950, made quality. In the end, Sony bought them and closed them, got rid of competition.

      It seems that some other company bought and revived the brand, but produces not very high-quality products, compared to the original.

    Excellent restoration but some details were missing: fine grease for mechanisms was missing, the electric motor was not checked internally and the magnetic tape reader has a precise adjustment
    It still looked like new

      Friend, I didn't show a lot of things in the video, it seemed to me that there would be too many little things. I did lubricate the parts. The motor rotates perfectly, I also washed and lubricated it without disassembling. I also washed the equalizer potentiometers with alcohol. I didn't tune the magnetic head through the hole, since this player is exclusively for the shelf. And yes, the magnetic head is like new, it is ferrite, an anti-corrosion alloy.
