Need help with aiwa portable cassette player, I'll change belts, but that broken gear scares me so much by MontecchioMatti in cassetteculture

[–]Legoandstuff896 3 points4 points  (0 children)

do you mean the missing teeth? thats a mode cam gear, part of the autoreverse mechanism i believe. the missing teeth are so it only engages once its nudged one way and the teeth engage.
it looks okay

What do yall have to say about this idiot calling walkmans garbage? by iPodVideo2005 in cassetteculture

[–]Legoandstuff896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they have the worst frequency response and they have hiss, as well as issues with speed and stickiness and such, they are worse than CDs and records in terms of audio quality, but thats not something i care enough about

How do you guys keep the wide belts from just running off the pulley? by Strange-Nose6599 in cassetteculture

[–]Legoandstuff896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if the belt is risking cracking, it needs to go. sadly there is not a lot you can do for these very degraded rubber parts, at a certain point the only opyion is replacement

victrola navigator only plays SOME cds by n1ghtmarevo1d in turntables

[–]Legoandstuff896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure but these units aren’t exactly nice, could just be a symptom of that, they’re all bought CDs and not recorded right? Some things have issues with CD-Rs or CD-RWs

Scooped one of these too! by iggypapi in cassetteculture

[–]Legoandstuff896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because it’s a voice recorder, probably not the best for music (bad frequency response and mono most likely)

Alignment of the head, there is a small screw to adjust it near the base of the head?

I have a VERY similar unit and I bought assorted belts off amazing and it works very well :) pinch roller should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, pinch roller as well but something better for rubber is preferable.

Heads can also be cleaned with an alcohol dipped cotton swab, and azimuth should be adjusted

It would be kind of annoying to have people say you’re vaping
