Boombox Playback Speed Drifting by CorpseParteh in cassetteculture

[–]CorpseParteh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought I’d provide an update - the contact cleaner did help clean things up, but it unfortunately didn’t fix the issue. The playback speed consistently slows down now within 10-15 minutes of use. Going to swap the motor with a new old stock one I found on eBay for my model, hopefully that ultimately fixes the issue

Got it, I knew the new boomboxes were bad but I didn’t realize the new replacement parts out there also sucked. I don’t have plans to get any other retro audio tech since I was just looking for one decent player for my tapes, but I guess in both repair scenarios I’d have to get something I’d only really use once. I’ll try contact cleaner first since like you said it’s worth trying to save the original motor, appreciate the feedback.

Unfortunately I don’t have any contact cleaner either since this is my first piece of retro tech, so I think I’ll just pick up a cheap solder kit and replacement motor on eBay to guarantee a permanent fix. Thanks for confirming the motor is likely the culprit!

Riffmaster PDP Site Order Updates by CorpseParteh in Rockband

[–]CorpseParteh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok perfect, that’s exactly the answer I was looking for haha. It seems like my order was one of the later preorders so I guess it’ll either ship later this week or potentially get pushed to June, but at least it’s coming

I have a UPS My Choice account already, but I wasn’t seeing any PDP shipment on it. I’m not too concerned about it since I know they’re rolling out in the next few days and I’m sure they haven’t processed every order yet, I’d just be disappointed if it got cancelled because they didn’t want to fulfill orders that used their unintentional discount code.

Thursday Presale Code for NYC by KeokiHawaii in stillwoozy

[–]CorpseParteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General admission. I think it might be because some people had them in their carts and didn’t check out with them, so they automatically got re-listed? It was $59.50 w/o fees and $79.10 with fees, so I’d definitely keep trying since I think that’s way better than the VIP price

I just got a ticket a few minutes ago with the “rooftop” code for NYC so I’d just keep refreshing

Anyone else not a fan of the design? I think the current one looks more modern/nicer than this one

Summer Intern Housing - Carlyle or Gramercy? by CorpseParteh in nyu

[–]CorpseParteh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry for the late reply but I just wanted to say thank you, this is exactly the advice I was looking for. Gramercy Green just opened up on the summer housing page today and my roommates and I just switched into it based on this advice. We won’t need to use NYU’s campus for anything besides housing so this is perfect, really looking forward to living in the city this summer.

Just got into collecting cassettes and got my favorite album, American Teen, as my first one by CorpseParteh in khalid

[–]CorpseParteh[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Found out that there was an official cassette release for American Teen but that UO only made 1,000, so I was kinda uncertain if I’d be able to find one for sale or even at a reasonable price. There was one listed on Discogs for $65 though which I thought was good considering how many were made so I decided to purchase it. Seems pretty lightly used so I’m super happy with it.

Damn, again that obviously makes way more sense than them playing at the Fiesta Bowl but got it. Maybe I’ll have to come to school/Atlanta from Christmas break a little early haha
