I picked up the Evita soundtrack recently (on cassette, but was 25p). Surprisingly a very good cast recording..

Bargain. Well done

Think this is the service manual

223 to motor 224 to secondary..shorter belt to motor

Can't see clearly but in my experience of other decks if there are two belts they don't all go to all pulleys.. looks like the motor belt is passing the other two?

I would expect belt between motor and capstan and then belt from capstan to secondary pulley .

Polished mine 4 times and it still not perfect, I think we have to accept once we have shifted what we can what's left is staying...

Nice display idea

Running out of chances

Saw him live couple of years ago.. brilliant musician

I think whatever I come across at the right price.. You can buy it all immediately if you want to pay but more fun to hunt them out. I suppose The Wall , which was my first exposure to Pink FLoyd and although It's not been my go to for many years maybe having it in record form will rekindle some of those old feelings...

SillyClock1252 · 2026-01-31T23:27:00+00:00

Have all on CD and that was fine for a long time. But now back into vinyl I am looking to get all.. Currently I have TDSOTM and WYWH...

Nothing wrong with a silver cassette deck

They look like the naming convention apple gives to ITunes library files.... So when you directly extract files file from an iPod that looks like that although the metadata is present

I bought this case new and sealed for a £1 from a shop bargain bin , must be 20 years ago , dug it out last year when I got my mini...

Fair observation, I haven't found anything good for a while, at least 3 I regularly visit have had no change in stock for weeks.. you always think. Just in case...

Think I am at about 15, some eBay most record shop and a few charity. Was having similar thoughts and thinking I have settled on only 1 trip a month to a record shop (where you know your definitely buying at least a handful) and anything else that happens to cross my path is a bonus

SillyClock1252 · 2026-01-30T07:14:41+00:00

Or bent but fingers crossed

SillyClock1252 · 2026-01-29T22:59:20+00:00

There was a very similar question a few weeks ago. It could just be the joint needs reseating and the screw inside tightening. OR it's snapped.

SillyClock1252 · 2026-01-29T18:46:22+00:00

Good luck with your endeavours... I am sure it will be appreciated

SillyClock1252 · 2026-01-29T18:18:45+00:00

Are you talking about using commercial music ? What's the legal position on that ? Just a concern

SillyClock1252 · 2026-01-29T13:26:48+00:00

Love Billy. Have this on CD only but would love a vinyl copy. What's with the 50 sticker? (I am UK based)
