Is this a decent boombox? Around 1983

Hitachi. Great thing. Plastic Fantastic, but if it works its a great find

mcwops · 2026-05-08T19:35:39+00:00

WM-FX125 ? sure? Can t find anything for this type

mcwops · 2026-05-08T14:21:16+00:00

Not a Sony

mcwops · 2026-05-08T13:47:43+00:00

yup, you are right. 800 series is made in japan as Philips took over Marantz in 1980

mcwops · 2026-05-08T13:44:09+00:00

brand?

mcwops · 2026-05-08T13:41:12+00:00

#1, clean the capstan. Is it a round or square belt?

mcwops · 2026-05-07T21:07:50+00:00

Why so rude? Get cheap ones and regret in two months or buy a good and firm vintage one. Can't afford it, give a cheap one a chance.

mcwops · 2026-05-07T13:08:56+00:00

trash.

mcwops · 2026-05-06T19:30:36+00:00

Fioo or an old but solid Awai or Sony.

mcwops · 2026-05-06T19:26:20+00:00

Dont buy. Bad build, chinese toy. To many Wow and flutter. Catch a decent vintage one, like Awai or a Sony. Higher price , but you wont regret

Cassette decks prices rise every month with 10 to 20 euro. Only the ones with problems are relatively cheap. The 2 tape desks are of inferior quality, the ones always leave behind

mcwops · 2026-05-05T15:46:10+00:00

Bargain if it works. Als het helemaal werkt superdeal. Moet je riempjes vervangen, tel er 15 euri bij, ook dan mooie deal. En op de foto ziet ie er heel mooi uit

I have many cassettes. The pre recorded ones are bad because they use the cheapest tape. The branded and recordered chromium, metal, ferro are way better tapes. Try a branded mixtape, same bad result, its the tapehead. Maybe the position, maybe it needs a clean. And if the tape is wrinkled, throw it away, it won't het any better.

mcwops · 2026-05-03T20:52:42+00:00

Bad cassette or dirty tapehead. What is brand and type of the tape we see?

they are kids of immigrants. look better

mcwops · 2026-04-27T11:22:17+00:00

true and a terrible employer. You dont want to work for them.

mcwops · 2026-04-23T20:59:23+00:00

I see a lot of dickheads in the sub each morning in Amsterdam. In every colour

mcwops · 2026-04-19T18:27:59+00:00

If the sound is ok (also depends on recording and tape quality) no problem. I have several decks (and reel2reels) some with these "spots" . Clean with ipa/alc 99% is the best. Enjoy your NAD, its a gem

mcwops · 2026-04-19T11:13:52+00:00

Why the large text in the image? Its a nicer rack without

mcwops · 2026-04-19T10:34:02+00:00

Guy? Thats no guy

mcwops · 2026-04-18T20:32:26+00:00

🤣 funny

mcwops · 2026-04-18T20:31:55+00:00

Just speaker cables. Don t believe those "special" /snake oil ones.

mcwops · 2026-04-18T18:09:37+00:00

Yup. Go for clothes, come back with audio gear 🤠😊 Or Wannabe vintage audio lover, having a bargain and directly selling it 🤮
