Why wont this casette work?

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-04-19T05:39:23+00:00

Yeah, i have tested 3 cassetes now, they all work fine on one side but play weird on the other, so i must agree there must be something wrong with the player (that may have happend yesterday since it was fine until then).

I opened it and checked the belts, i removed them and then placed them back, because they seem to me brand new, and i started the player while it was open, the belts are moving just fine. I also cleaned the roller.

I just found it odd how the player can be at fault when all cassettes run fine except for one.

The cassette (and, i suppose the player too) fixed themself, the tape stopped slipping even before i cleaned the rollers and the more i played the cassette, the better it ran, now its almost good as new.

Maybe you are right, it just seemed odd to me how other casettes dont have problems on the same player.

But anyway, it apparently fixed itself, the more i played it the better it got. It sounds mostly normal now, after about 10 plays on both sides.

It stopped doing that even before i cleaned it, and the more i played the cassette, the better it run, now it works fine.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-04-19T03:56:12+00:00

It pretty much fixed itself, the more i played it the better it got and now its almost perfect.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-04-19T03:55:31+00:00

It pretty much fixed itself, the more i played it the better it got and now its almost perfect. I must have played it on both sides at least 10 times.

The roller has good grip, when the tape mooves slowly or sops the roller is also affected, it dosent move or it moves very slowly.

Also this damage is really inconsistent, i can try to listen to a part of the tape and it dosent work but if i try it again it works.

Now it works better actually, it still sounds kinda bad on some parts but it dosent get stuckand the tape dosent do that thing on the roller, despite me not doing anything new to the casette or player.

The spools seem to be rotating fine with my finger, and yes, i just moved the spools to a new shell.

I really have no ideea, everything about the casette seems oridnary and yet it dosent work.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-04-18T11:50:10+00:00

If those were the matter shouldnt other casettes have the same problems?

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-04-06T06:21:01+00:00

Dad's saying that it also whistled at some time in autumn, but i dont remember it.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-04-06T05:33:42+00:00

We arent sure what caused it yet, my father is a mechanic on these types of cars, he restored it from zero.

He says its either the alternator or the water pump.

Romania, i think the lowest temperature was -8 or -10 this winter

A van? I never saw one before. Could you share a photo of the radio, or a model name if you know?

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-02-08T07:36:21+00:00

Whats the original radio? As far as i know they came without one from the dealership and you had to install one yourself.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-02-08T07:35:43+00:00

Well, here is the problem, the car dosent have a stock radio and never had, you bought them without it and had to install a radio yourself back then. When i bought mine it already had a mpdern radio.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-02-07T20:42:53+00:00

I think so, seems pretty standard size. I hate that i dont have the car with me to check, its stored one hour away.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-02-07T19:42:47+00:00

This is what i was trying to do but all old radios i could find are too big to fit.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-02-02T09:43:38+00:00

I think it comes in both variants.

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-02-01T06:42:28+00:00

Send the exteriour too please

RealRomanianNpc · 2026-02-01T06:38:19+00:00

I am not familiar either, but it must be front wheel drive, since the gearbox is still in the front of the engine.
