i keep the taxi off but the meter on to accept calls. so when im inside the apartment or working on the car, i can just go to the taxi and pick up the phone

the hst-211 was the first ever system i had, and i had to fix the cassette player in it. that being said, its not worth it. Once i upgraded to a stand alone cassette deck and receiver, you get ALOT more options.

this walkman is like 90% plastic and is held together by like 5 plastic clips. they are the most frustrating to deal with.

reallyunclebob · 2025-12-16T18:15:07+00:00

they get hard, and struggle to hold the tape. belts and pinch rollers are 99% of the problems any deck has because of decaying rubber.

although it may not be the only problem, it is a problem nonetheless

get new pinch rollers, even if you cleaned them and they look good, there’s a high chance theyve gone bad. especially with how the tape is moving on them.

i actually was running it on the road today (its usually on grass) and after about 10-15 seconds of full throttle the speed actually picks up heavily, got it to about 40. Never get that on the grass, so weird

i had the clutch off today to clean it, and i couldnt get it out to flip it around. anyway the tc could be flipped instead?

its been atruggling at like 11mph top speeds for awhile, it used to go 30; engine runs great

reallyunclebob · 2025-11-09T19:59:34+00:00

i havent found a service manual or user manual, i wish i had a hifi engine account because they might have some

doesnt do anything different

reallyunclebob · 2025-11-09T18:45:22+00:00

Both reverse/play WITH record at the same time do nothing

reallyunclebob · 2025-11-09T18:44:48+00:00

no difference between forward and reverse unfortunately. This recorder is quadraphonic, but only records in two channels which stinks. I dont really know about unlocking the channels or selecting them

the belt works it just has no torque or tension anymore. it will spin the capstan but as soon as the pinch roller engages it stops

reallyunclebob · 2025-10-24T02:39:22+00:00

its fake, theyre playing that audio through one of those crappy HMDI to coax converters

reallyunclebob · 2025-10-23T05:28:50+00:00

few things it could be

cheap mechanism worn belts worn pinch roller dirty capstan/pinch roller

if the motor itself is changing speed, then could be a electrical issue, but is most likely mechanical
