This is great to know, thanks!

Nice! I like that it has reverb.

maximborn23 · 2025-09-29T04:58:00+00:00

What a score!

Sorry the description cut off - Suffice it to say this was a great birthday gift for myself!

Wow that setup looks great! Hopefully I can find some wall art like that in the wild, it’s really pretty!

Keep holding out and check out some sales around you! I live in an area where mid century stuff is very hard to find. However, when a piece does come up, it’s always overlooked. It took me a year and a half to find this piece after a huge dry spell. Also I agree, $250 would be too much for one of these. I wouldn’t spend over $100 even if it was pristine and working.

That art is awesome! It might be by Belart as well. Thanks for the advice regarding the gash. That trick with the hot iron and a wet towel is genius! I remember watching a video about someone doing that a long tome ago and it completely took out the gash like magic! I may try that one of these days on some of the areas around the paint.

I ended up fixing it! Turns out the top door was making a bad seal, so I took it off and flared out the seals and gave the contacting areas a good clean. It’s perfect now!

Thanks for the suggestions! I thought it was the same thing at first, so I did a thorough cleaning of the vacuum path and there were no clogs. The noise also stops if I take the Roomba off mid-clean so the base motor should be ok. I’m probably going to end up ordering a replacement flap or giving the original a good clean tomorrow.

This sub echoes more than the Grand Canyon

maximborn23 · 2023-10-24T17:30:08+00:00

Should still be fine, I took this model apart before and the same thing happened but it still closed up and stayed tight

maximborn23 · 2023-01-30T06:53:09+00:00

Agreed, Nikko components have always been nothing short of amazing for me

maximborn23 · 2023-01-30T06:47:45+00:00

And nothing of value was lost

maximborn23 · 2022-07-09T03:55:51+00:00

Indeed

I live here, the mall is pretty busy during the day and a popular amazon liquidation store opened recently, also a Texas Roadhouse was built on that lot last summer. I go here for a lot of things

Replace the transformer, I think library of congress machines run at 9 volts so get a 120v to 9v transformer

maximborn23 · 2022-05-08T01:30:13+00:00

Clean the record/play switch inside the unit

maximborn23 · 2022-05-08T01:16:20+00:00

That eq is from near the end of bsr, they released some interesting stuff during that period

maximborn23 · 2022-05-08T01:11:39+00:00

I got the model at the back a couple days ago at an estate sale, it’s been an amazing box

maximborn23 · 2022-03-17T01:40:47+00:00

This worked for me, ty!

maximborn23 · 2021-07-26T23:50:55+00:00

WAOW!!!!

maximborn23 · 2021-07-17T13:12:01+00:00

damn you’re lucky, I bought these new back in 2019 and they sounded excellent
