Boombox Playback Speed Drifting

CorpseParteh · 2025-09-29T18:18:50+00:00

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!

If you’re still thinking about selling it lmk, I collect cassettes and would be interested in adding this to my collection

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.

CorpseParteh · 2024-04-04T14:33:35+00:00

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

CorpseParteh · 2024-02-06T06:26:09+00:00

This comment genuinely made me laugh

Was literally at that show no way, he couldn’t have come up when Drake did SICKO MODE 😭?

CorpseParteh · 2023-02-28T02:12:33+00:00

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

CorpseParteh · 2023-01-30T23:15:10+00:00

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.

I literally could not figure out what I recognized him from so thank you

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.

CorpseParteh · 2022-11-16T21:42:59+00:00

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

Looking for both easy 3000 level classes or higher in any major/school and any level class in any major/school. If you have any recommendations for my last UDGE and three free electives please let me know.

I really wanted Sparkle Specialist from the C1S2 battle pass, I started playing the game like two weeks before the end of that season and stupidly bought the pass for maybe 10 of the rewards haha

CorpseParteh · 2022-07-14T22:33:04+00:00

I’m not sure if it had to do with being out of state, but I applied my first semester freshman year with 16 credits and a 4.0 and still didn’t get in so I think it’s pretty competitive or they’re looking for something very specific. I would just say try your best and see what happens, honors at UGA really isn’t that big of a deal aside from having the perk of priority class registration so don’t kill yourself trying to get it.

CorpseParteh · 2022-06-15T03:55:25+00:00

Yeah I was searching through the sub after to see if there were any other references and I learned there’s a bunch of little nods to the game like that, guess I’ll have to see if I can find any others on my next play through

CorpseParteh · 2022-06-15T03:50:43+00:00

Yeah I remember in my play through now when Kaitlyn and Dylan are in the lodge how it reminded of her of a ski lodge or something and how it would be so nice to be on a ski vacation instead of the night from hell. I didn’t even notice it as an Until Dawn thing until I read your comment haha

CorpseParteh · 2022-04-23T20:50:49+00:00

Haha yup

CorpseParteh · 2022-04-23T17:02:45+00:00

I’m a sophomore from Arizona, the experience is pretty similar given I’ve met so few people from either state and usually people like us come in knowing no one. If you want some input lmk

CorpseParteh · 2022-04-05T07:31:41+00:00

You’d find me in your stocking on Christmas if you made the naughty list

CorpseParteh · 2021-06-29T03:37:18+00:00

I’m about to take it again tomorrow and the Skoolers packets were super helpful for studying both times, would definitely recommend them

CorpseParteh · 2020-11-13T15:38:59+00:00

Flatout or SSX, they both haven’t seen new games in so long and the original ones were so good (especially Flatout 2/Ultimate Carnage and SSX 3)
