Help please

I got this cd player plus cassette player a bit ago and it worked fine until it didn’t. Started making clicking noises and wouldn’t spin the cd. I took it apart but I can’t figure out what to do. Please please please help

Why is my stereo making this sound?

First post here!

My boombox occasionally makes this sound during playback or recording, regardless of whether there is a cassette inside. Sometimes the intermittent buzzing gets recorded onto a cassette.

Would anyone know what is causing this? Do some capacitors need replacing? This is a Sharp GF-4343 if that helps.

Cheers in advance!

What CD burn speed is appropriate for this Sony CFD-G35?

I got another CD-R after my other disc didn’t even play anything, it was a rewritable disc while the unit supports those kinds of CDs (the RWs)

Just picked up my first boombox

Toshiba rt 120s. Found this at a local estate sale. It's in great shape but of course the belt had turned to tar. Took it apart and cleaned up the flywheel and drive pulley and ordered a new belt. Wasn't really dirty besides the belt. Picked up some NOS sony blanks at goodwill a while ago so going to use the aux ports on the back to record some albums and enjoy.

Just thrifted this fully functional Sharp X Bass boombox for $15

Everything works. It’s practically new. It doesn’t get very loud, but sounds surprisingly decent. In addition to the three band equalizer there is a fader dedicated to the extended bass reflex system. It really works. Also has an rca output on the back for the cd player. Wish it worked for the tape deck too. :( I don’t know why they did that during this era.

1 or 2?

I love the tech behind Diamond box but always felt their boomboxes lacked aesthetic appeal. Thoughts?

Is my boombox 3 real?

I got it from eBay so I’m not sure if it’s real but it looks it to me

Is this worth repair?

So I saw this listing in my local fb group, it's free but in pretty bad condition... Antenna broken, casette probably not working, and very dirty... Could it be worth it to try and restore it? (Videoton RM 5642 S)

Earlier today, I picked up this lovely CD player boombox with an AM/FM radio from a local thrift store! The radio and the lid for the CD player function well, I just haven't been able to test the actual CD player yet.

Help with this cassette to bluetooth adapter

I insert the bluetooth cassette and nothing happens. When i put the boombox in cassette mode it doesn't display anything on the Lcd. With the adapter in i am unable to press the play button. Any idea of what could be causing this?
