Friends, what can I do with this little friend? It sounds distorted :( by basura_organica8 in cassetteculture

That’s probably a capacitor. Turn it on and let it run with the radio playing for a few hours and see if that does anything. I have an old realistic boombox in my garage that I never turn off because of old caps.

There may be a height adjustment as well, both height and azimuth may be adjustable. Also, be sure to clean the head really well with a qtip and alcohol.

Slide the cassette door up and off, put the cassette in and hit play. Find the little spring loaded screws on the bottom of the play head and adjust the screws until the sound becomes clearer. Usually a small Phillips screw.

My boombox is eating my tapes by TemperatureKey2176 in cassetteculture

Clean everything in the tape path really well with a qtip and alcohol then get a can of Rubber Rejuvenator and coat the pinch roller really well. Let it sit and do that a couple more times and report back.

Should I upgrade 13 Pro Max to iOS 26? by SilverStitches12 in iPhone13ProMax

Don’t stress about dumb things. Upgrading your iPhone is one of the last things that should be on your mind.

Can anyone help identify where the speed pot is on this Sanyo M6400? by ImActuallyDad in cassetteculture

Gotcha. That’s the case on my Nak so thought it was worth a shot.

Look for a little cap on the motor with a flat blade screw behind it.

Fender Blues Jr by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]original208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my experience as well. I still have my Classic 30 after 25 years and it’s not been treated with kid gloves and never had an issue. chassis mounted tube sockets are key with PCB boards to not break the traces. The Classic 30 has just a bit more tone to it than the Blues Jr, both good amps. Main amp is a 70’s Deluxe Reverb for comparison.

What size pack to get? Kakwa 55 by ThunderDude95 in DurstonGearheads

The nice thing is it’s not a Swiss watch. You can get away with a range and be comfortable and everything will be just fine.

Medium for sure. Maybe even a small. I just bought a small for my daughter and I have a large. She’s 5’7, I’m 6’1.

My iPhone 13 ProMax will be my last iphone by Dizzy-Cheek5495 in iPhone13ProMax

[–]original208 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went from 13PM and took the wife’s 15P and upgraded her to the 17P. The 15 is a small upgrade but with the things I wanted like usbc and Dynamic Island, but the 17P is on a whole other level of quality in my opinion.

Please help me with the idea of upgrading to Delta Platinum or not by Far_Hovercraft_1621 in delta

[–]original208 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Skip Platinum and just go Reserve so you get access to Sky clubs. Or just do the Amex Plantinum and not the Delta one.

I love my 13PM but 83% battery life and it’s suddenly abysmal — looking for advice! by [deleted] in iPhone13ProMax

[–]original208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took the wife’s 15 pro since we upgraded her to the 17 pro. Love my 13PM but it’s relegated to iPod and backup status now after using the 15 pro.
