I have approximately 500 vintage service manuals from JVC, Sanyo, and many others. They are mostly audio service manuals, with a few video. Would anyone be interested? Local pickup preferred, but shipping is possible from Switzerland.
I have two Sanyo RD XM1 stereo microcassette decks and I'm looking for someone (in Switzerland or the surrounding area) who can check and service them. I already have the belts.
Is there anyone out there who can do this?
Hi everyone,
Selling a huge, well-preserved time capsule from a professional tape duplication studio warehouse. Perfect for indie labels or DIY tape loop creators.
Everything is pristine New Old Stock (NOS).

All pancakes are stored in original protective styrofoam boxes, dust-free and dry.

An absolute unicorn of vintage audio history! 🦄
Finally completed this absolute holy grail setup!
This is the SANYO RD-XM1, famously known as the world’s smallest front-loading cassette deck. Released around 1980, Sanyo engineered this tiny beast to turn the humble dictation microcassette into a legitimate high-fidelity stereo format. It packs serious engineering into a tiny chassis:
-True 2-Motor Drive with full logic transport controls. -Type IV (Metal) Tape Support utilizing a high-precision Sendust head.
-Dolby NR noise reduction.
I’ve finally managed to piece the whole kit together: the deck itself, the ultra-rare SANYO MC-46ME Metal Microcassettes, the original Instruction Manual, and the full Service Manual!
My question to the community: Is this the rarest Sanyo combo out there? I know they made some obscure gear, but finding the deck with the matching metal tapes and both manuals feels like peak unobtanium. What do you think?
