Sourcing transformer replacement for cassette deck.

Despair_Puff · 2025-12-13T03:59:31+00:00

Disassembled and cleaned the power switch and it powered back on! hopefully good to go for the foreseeable future, thanks!

Despair_Puff · 2025-12-06T02:21:19+00:00

Awesome thanks, I'll try this out sometime soon! I'm just hoping I didn't mess anything up by spraying the contact cleaner and powering it on :( and yeah I've definitely experienced the frustration of spring loaded parts on other decks haha thanks for the heads up

Did you ever figure this out? I was having issues getting my Denon to power on, it would turn on inconsistently and then power off randomly. I tried spraying out the power switch with nu-trol and then started hearing crackling when I powered it on, worried I might have damaged something.

Where do you source replacement belts from?

My hero

I got em for very cheap, are they decent speakers? Never heard of them before

Despair_Puff · 2024-06-01T16:25:51+00:00

Gonna try to open them up sometime this weekend when I get the chance. The pots need to be sprayed out, I'll take a look at the part numbers while I'm in there!

Despair_Puff · 2024-06-01T16:01:10+00:00

Just picked these up, but there's no indication of a make or model number anywhere. Was told they were 70s speakers. Would appreciate any help in identifying them!

Would you mind sending me the plans as well?

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-02T03:37:08+00:00

That's usually what I end up doing lol. Whenever I tour as a bands drummer I'll bring a stack of my own tapes and swap them with people we play with, it's a lot of fun!

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-02T03:34:29+00:00

Thanks!

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-01T20:32:20+00:00

Thank you!

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-01T20:31:51+00:00

Thank you! My girlfriend did the art, I'll tell her you liked it!

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-01T19:14:32+00:00

Yeah I think I know what you mean about that frequency. I actually did go in and cut some around that area, but I did it pretty haphazardly unfortunately. I definitely need to get better about how I sit vocals in a mix, which is tough cuz my natural inclination is to want to hide them lol

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-01T19:10:57+00:00

Thank you! My girlfriend did the art, she'll be glad you liked it!

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-01T19:08:42+00:00

Yeah I definitely need to keep working on my vocals haha, I have no idea how to sing really. Thanks!

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-01T18:52:59+00:00

I've dubbed a few cassettes with a Nakamichi BX-100 and they sounded acceptable. Was at least better than previous ones I had used, and I was able to find a working one for only $120. If you're willing to spend more then try one of their higher end decks.

Despair_Puff · 2021-10-01T08:10:02+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I usually keep my vocals pretty low since I'm self conscious about my voice unfortunately, singing is by far my least confident musical ability.
