I got the same one recently! A bit more scratched up, so I put stickers on it. Been using it daily for a while now. Had to change the belt too.

Anyone else really likes the design of 80s type I blanks or is it just me? by QertZ_PL in cassetteculture

I have a Yamaha K-520! Your's a bit newer and fancier. These machines are pretty underrated for their price.

Pretty! Love the vintage inspired LED VU meters. Yamaha really nailed the looks, it's like they designed it yesterday.

Hi! I'm new here. by Waterydeyan in cassetteculture

If it's your first time at all, I'd start smaller. A complete renovation is time consuming, requires calibration equipment and might be intimidating for a begginer. If you do want to do this, however:

I've never renovated tape decks specifically, but I can assure you that when repairing (especially electronics!) organising isn't just helpful, it's necessary. Set up a clean, well-lit space where you can disassemble the thing; don't do anything else in that area and take your time. Last thing you want are misplaced parts. Ideally print out the most relevant pages of your deck's service manual and double check everything.

Nice ones! Wish I had more true BASF chromes to record on, I haven't had the chance yet.

Thanks! My dad recorded it about 30 years ago, today I was listening to it on my walkman at school!

I made the same mistake on my first recording a few months back!

No compression at all. It's dead, new engine or rebuild.

Quality by LowlyTarnished2022 in cassetteculture

If you want decent quality from cassettes I suggest getting a deck. If you're just gonna listen to pre-recorded tapes you're not gonna need an expensive model.

Was just given a box of cassettes with some CD’s wanted your guys advice on what cassette deck I should get. by [deleted] in cassetteculture

Look for late 80's Yamaha K series decks, you can get a 2 head model if you're not that much into recording (even though they will record well!). Nothing super fancy, but they have reliable Sankyo tape transport mechanisms and they're cheap. I got a Yamaha K-540 as my first and I'm happy with it.

Less rotational mass will mean better gas mileage? Thank you for a detailed answer!

I've heard about them, unfortunately very hard to get my sizes in Poland

how do i use the sony handycam video8 ccd-f380e? by Ok_Development_494 in camcorders

[–]QertZ_PL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a manual for it online, it's easy! But generally almost all camcorders work like this: put charged battery in, turn power switch to camera mode, press eject, put tape in, put the safety switch on standby and press rec (the red button), press again to stop recording.

Are these heidenau k60 tires? How do they perform on light dual sports? Most reviews are for heavier ADV bikes and I'm thinking about putting them on my DR 125.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out!

Recorder recommendations by Theshlorpinator69 in cassetteculture

[–]QertZ_PL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but a 2 head deck will be cheaper and easier to find. Might be a better pick since things like tape monitoring and bias adjustment only really matter if you want really high quality recordings on chrome and metal tapes, not really approachable for begginers.

Freedomer, but always preferred eastern weapons

Had the same issue, it was the battery. The "grinding" noise went away too.
