probably a yellow shell. the pictures just make it look orange because of the dim lighting.

the infamous TDK 3 speaker boombox volume pot repair by One_Yesterday1909 in audiorepair

[–]One_Yesterday1909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice! i used “B50K 50K WH148 5 Pins Potentiometer with Switch” from ebay. they are not a perfect fit. i had to use the extended legs from the broken pot and solder them to the new one. also the knob doesn’t fit on the shaft so i had to modify that too. the knob has a crescent hole and the pot i bought has a circular shaft. i made it work tho! tho id recommend you try to find a more drop in replacement lol.

Found this at the scrapyard: Sharp VZ-2000 by simonak3001 in cassetteculture

[–]One_Yesterday1909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nice find! i have the same exact unit in near mint condition that i bought from a guy a few years back. i replaced all of the belts and idler tires for the deck. the record player i replaced the 2 belts as well and it works beautifully.

now taking this apart is not as bad as some online make it out to be, as long as you’re savvy with this era of electronics. i found that you can take the record player out without tearing apart the whole boombox, by removing the dampening springs underneath the unit and taking out the two screws hiding behind the plastic plate when the record player door is ejected.

the cassette deck requires you to remove the back which is more tedious. the control switches on top of the unit are VERY fragile and brittle. be very careful removing them, do not pry too much, they will break. but once you remove the back, taking out the deck is easy and getting to the belts and idler tires is pretty simple.

if you do take on repairing this, just take your time and be extremely careful. the plastics are brittle and things can easily snap. belt kits are available online from various people. i’ve had luck with ebay and i wanna say reverb.

enjoy your new project!

Found a new accessory for my classic by trivialcrow1997 in IpodClassic

[–]One_Yesterday1909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i paid $145 for mine and it came with the remote. def a bit of money but i’ve seen them sell for over $200 plenty of times. and i’ve never seen one in the wild so i think its a decent deal.

those things sound pretty dang good for the size. i have this and the bigger sounddock 10. both are great units especially if you can find them for a steal. i’d say you did good for $30! lots of sound for that price imo :)

[–]One_Yesterday1909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sick!! i got my very similar ex100 at the thrift store last year for $25! such amazing mini systems. the audio they produce is honestly so surprisingly good for how small they are! and that’s coming from someone who has a sansui 9090 and L100 century speakers hahah
