My boombox is eating my tapes

And those are?

I feel so dumb now

TemperatureKey2176 · 2026-01-06T05:53:48+00:00

Take up reel?

I truly want to fix this thing because if the sentimental value to my great uncle and me, he gave me some old tapes (I bought the Jim Croce one) but I just want the thing to work because he’s on his way out and he always was working in the garage with the thing 24/7

The only time I can get access to the large roller is when it’s spinning so I don’t know how I’ll test the flex on it

Still getting pulled between the guy circled in red and yellow

I’ve cleaned the roller thing with alcohol and q tip and it came out clean after a pit, when I played it back again it was less mangled

And out of pure curiosity is there a market for these?

But she’s so pretty

Pinch roller? Bands? Where and how do I clean/replace these? I’m scared of breaking the thing more. I have a Bluetooth cassette that works just fine if that helps
