r/cassette

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

I'm glad I found all of this at a good price at a flea market in Paris ;) Usually, prices for secondhand items at flea markets in Paris are still pretty high.

Hey guys! I recently purchased this player off of ebay and there were a couple issues that I found. I bought this knowing it was going to be a fixer upper and figured it shouldn't be too hard. I replaced the belts, cleaned the corrosion off of the curcuit board with isopropyl alcohol, and tweaked the play speed for like an hour to get the perfect sound. All that's left to do is fix the left sound output. When I wear headphones, it is completely silent on the left side. The sound only plays on both ears if I put the jack in halfway. I am having trouble finding the right youtube tutorial for my model and would appreciate any help I can get. Because of the way the player is built, I can only truly examine the underside of the circuit board of I disconnect some wires which I'm trying to avoid. I do have a soldering kit but I would like to hold off until I know for sure what I need to do.

Hi everyone,

My CT-W205R is having a recording issue with the left channel. It does record, but at a much lower level than the right channel.

The strange thing is that it was working perfectly until a couple of days ago. So far I've:

Cleaned the head several times with isopropyl alcohol;
Tried a different RCA cable;
Tested the tapes in another deck, and they played back correctly.
Has anyone experienced something like this or have any idea what might be causing it? I was thinking about giving it a more thorough cleaning, but I'm not convinced that's the problem since it started happening so suddenly.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Timestamp 4:45,(Fisher is all I can see ) I'm searching for its model to try to get it I will attach some screenshots help me out

Ever since i fixed this my daughter has been listening to it at night and its become my dedicated testing rig, if the tape sounds good in this thing it’ll sound great on the Hi-Fi

Received a large amount of old cassettes. I don’t know much about cassettes at all. Wondering if any of these are clearly worth a lot? I’d like to sell them all. The ones in the last picture are all sony/maxwell homemade tapes.

When i twist the headphone aux cord it comes out of both headphones but if I don't it only comes out of one

I recently picked up this Pioneer Ct-F500 for 25$, opened it up and saw that all the belts had become syrupy and gooey. I figured i could dive into replacing the belts without any previous knowledge. Ive been able to replace 3 but have had trouble reinstalling things such as the sensor next to the flywheel. ive now reconnected everything where i believe it to go. And without surprise it unfortunately didn’t work. The belts wont rotate and i’ve somehow made the eject door not open. And when i bought it the record button wouldn’t lock in place, if you held it down the recording light would pop up on the panel but it wouldn’t stay. Any tips or help would be beyond appreciated.

The belt kit i purchased was from www.wjoeradio.com

The “interference” or whatever this sound is just keeps getting worse, is there anything I can do or should I just trash it?

Back to a soundtrack of a younger version of me.

Lot of 90

I'm glad I finally managed to do this (P.S.: I still need to add the credits for the *Celeste* creators [on the photo showing the white side], and the cassette doesn't have enough runtime for the entire soundtrack, but I'm happy I was able to pull this off).
