Today’s haul, “Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same” is missing tape 1 of 2

Just wanted to share. Repairing a RCA RCD150 Boombox radio worked, cassette and CD not so much! Cassette was making running noise, CD would not eject. Cassette needed belts, CD player needed a good cleaning, old grease turned basically to glue and would not eject. It all needed a good cleaning and relubrication with synthetic grease and oils. On another note. You have to completely disassemble the thing just to remove the CD mechanism and cassette mechanism. Lots and lots of screws.

Finally got around to finishing up a Marantz linear tracking turntable. A good cleaning, and relubrication a few adjustments. Works great! Was having issues sourcing incandescent size searcher lamp (IN128001AR) after some reading I was able replace it with a 8V bi-pin led that absolutely fit and works perfectly! Sourced from AliEx bag of 10.

Bought this old 70’s Sansui SR-313 a little while back. It was in bad shape, worked through it when I had time. Veneered the plinth with walnut, platter was corroded, lots of polishing. Original cartridge, new stylus. It’s a work in progress though.
No dust cover, that’s next…

Did my first mod. Koss KPH40 MMCX sockets, longer braided MMCX cable, YAXI pads. Still thinking about the flower 🌼 mod, and the 25mm hole 🕳️ in the pad mod.

Today’s haul! A couple ordered from https://retrospekt.com/, the others from a thrift shop.
Two from retrospekt were still in shrink, one from thrift was still in shrink.

Got these in the mail! They are in VG+ condition or better! Was so surprised, 😳 and the price was amazing!
