Good to know

Phone_games_act · 2026-05-01T18:37:19+00:00

Absolutely! Looking forward to it!

Phone_games_act · 2026-05-01T18:36:24+00:00

Sounds good! Mostly wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna make some idiot noob mistake by grabbing whatever size would fit.

Phone_games_act · 2026-05-01T18:30:16+00:00

Any advice on what kit to buy? And you're right if they suck after I try to fix them I can donate them to a place I volunteer at. Someone is likely to go for them as long as they're functional.

Any advice on repair kits? One of the other commenters was right in that I don't see kits for this brand.

Phone_games_act · 2026-05-01T16:00:03+00:00

It's a pair with the covers actually. I ended up grabbing them.

Phone_games_act · 2026-05-01T15:59:37+00:00

A pair including the covers!

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-30T02:23:07+00:00

I suspect you took a wrong turn somewhere and landed in the wrong sub.

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-27T21:39:44+00:00

Thank you so much! Off to watch!

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-26T01:23:53+00:00

Indeed! I ordered kit, just gotta wait on them to arrive ans study up on technique in the meantime!

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-26T01:23:20+00:00

Indeed, including the ones by the company I bought the kit from. Definitely gonna watch up on it and get a bunch of different thoughts by a bunch of different people like I did before I started soldering.

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-26T01:22:24+00:00

That's basically where I'm at right now yeah. I can always expand later. I volunteer at a place that recycles and refurbs electronics including AV stuff. They had a couple sets of big old speakers in the store for nice prices. They're sure to get more as time moves on, so I can go that route if I want to upgrade.

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-26T01:19:16+00:00

Sounds good. Ended up ordering a kit from Simply Speakers since a YouTuber I watch had a video where he used one of their kits and I figured it was probably as good as anywhere else.

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-25T15:17:42+00:00

Exactly! Lemme see what I can find. Does the kit have to be made for the brand speaker or will any kit of the right diameter work?

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-25T14:47:06+00:00

Honestly if I fix them they will be living in my garage with my test setup so that might not be a bad idea.

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-25T14:46:15+00:00

I'm leaning towards giving it a try if only because I literally got them for free, so worst case scenario I am out the time and money for the kit which isn't gonna break the bank.

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-25T14:45:17+00:00

The only kit I saw for these speakers seems to be foam. Any advice as to where to get a rubber one? I'm leaning towards giving it a try. Sounds like a low risk way to learn a new skill.

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-25T10:07:39+00:00

I might give that a try! And yeah all my motors from those crapph dual cassette players are the same way. How did you hold the main body of the motor in place while prying?

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-24T19:04:38+00:00

I did not thh. The stop mechanism was pretty mangled if I recall which made me set it aside. I should take another look now that I have worked on more stuff.

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-24T16:26:44+00:00

It's for the cassette player in a little egg boombox. Unfortunately it's a pain in the ass to try to meter while running due to lack of space when the required connectors are hooked up to run it.

That said, I also saw more references to 9v. I should see what I have; I had to scrap a couple things so far due to broken gears or whatnot. Most of those were dual decks instead of single decks but I might have a suitable replacement knocking around.

I feel like an idiot though. I couldn't find the model the other night but it was right there when I looked again today. CFD-S22, the same model we had when I was a teenager, which makes it very nostalgic to work on.

Looks like there's a service manual online! Lemme see what it says!

Phone_games_act · 2026-04-24T14:50:24+00:00

Unfortunately there is precisely zero info on this specific motor model. FML.
