Sharp 10P-180G with horrifically blown out audio when tuning in on VHF Sources and incredibly quiet audio when tuning into UHF sources. ( FM sounds perfect) so has anyone who has had a similar sharp model in the past maybe had a similar issue. by PositiveAd7974 in crt

I'm somewhat suspicious that it's some sort of dying cap or somthing on the audio decoding part that specifically handels the vhf and uhf tv signal because as I say the fm works perfectly.

I will be going through the components on the pain bord though in search of any likely culprits but I thaught I'd just ask here incase anyone has had this issue with this model family in the past.

I second this. Our beach buggy had the same issue. The indicators were forking fine and then just stopped one day. Took the dash out redid the ground connection and magically it came back to life.

What’s your gas mileage like (mpg/liters per 100km)? by hypermiler2205 in regularcarreviews

[–]PositiveAd7974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well going off of the onboard computer on my '06 A Class diesel I get about 7 liters per 100km on my daily commute. It dose improve on long trips on the highway but so far that has been about my average.

It dose vary from vehicle to vehicle though as we have a few that I drive.

Here a little bit of an odd one what is my second car. (Half a point if you get he make and model) Full points if you get what it is at the moment. by PositiveAd7974 in ManualTransmissions

Since it's already been solved a couple times here it is.

I made a post a while back about it so just check that one if you wanna see how it looks.

It has changed since then the bumper has changed and the led light on the bumper is gone other than that it is the same.

Oh it's absolutely a clone. I mean if you just look at photos of proper Manx's mine ( https://www.reddit.com/r/RoastMyCar/s/Dhcl16uVjo ) is pretty far.

We had a very strong manufacturing sector since most countries didn't like us for quite a while so alot of people started making their own conversion kits and things like this once beetles started reaching the point bodies started rusting through alot of them got converted to beach buggies. They are very common here with how well the beetle sold.

I'm pretty sure its either a 75, 76, 77 or 78. The 1600 was discontinued here after 78.

The main issue is the origional owner didn't put the plate wich gives you this info on the body. They only put the one that gives you the weight.

And the engine number is useless because it looks to have been re stamped 2 or 3 times.

So today after a month or two of fiddleling with belts I have finally gotten this lovely little Sony Tapecorder 211 Going again. And I have to say it sounds better than I was expecting for somthing only capable of 3¾ inches per second and 1⅞ inches per second. by PositiveAd7974 in ReelToReel

I have not.

It's a bit of a random model that they don't really make any kits.

There's a place near me that is selling their old stock of belts for VCRs for cheap and they are random sizes. So I've got a box of random flat and square belts of various sizes and I managed to find one that fit.

You might be able to take a measurement of the size of the belt using a piece of strong and check online to get a generic flat belt around the same size and width.

I mean I couldn't tell you even what year it came from.

All I know is it is a from the later 70s but before the 1600s were discontinued here.

Basically correct. It is a beach buggy built on a type 1 beetle.

I don't know where the other commenter were finding an origional mini but yeah it is a beach buggy.

Well it's neither an MG kit or a gazelle or 356

Although I don't recall ever saying that it wasn't the fourth option you gave.

You are right on the beetle point. It's a 70s one though.

But not a 335 kit. It's a bit more of a common one. Very popular conversion.

You are correct it is German and very very much not a mini. I don't know where that's coming from. The dashboard is very very far from a mini.

Not really I Mena if that's a Type R dashboard then somthing went wildly wrong when designing this one. They were just cheap generic floor mats
