Is Gerard or Ferguson better?

I’m confused as to how you got heat shrink tube to wrap evenly around a wheel. Could you explain this?

Thanks for uploading. Fascinating to see this again. I had a 9072 bought 2nd hand in 1981 and gave many years of good service. BSR turntable was ok. The cassette deck ran slightly fast, i recall, so anything recorded on the Alba sounded a bit slow when played on any other cassette deck! There was a circuit diagram in the back of the owner's manual - something you'd never get now. Great to see one of these again!

My mum had to feed four boys and had one of these working evey day making pastry or using the liquidiser for yorkshire puds. When taking off the top cover for the liquidiser it would isolate the beater on this model. The coffee grinder fits on the slow drive at the front by the way. The runner bean slicer is a worthwhile attachment as it takes the effort out of slicing them and does it much faster. I have a Major which I repaired as well as a 901 as spare which also needed electronic items to be replaced. Very underrated as far better than many of the more modern looking multi mix types.

شكرا ما هو طول الهواءي الخارجي لهذا الجهاز؟

I found a good A701A on ebay a year ago and use it every week. 2024. Noisy but i love it unbustable!

How did you switch the weird old 2 prong connections? I have the original decca 613 though, how would i then wire speakers to record player? My main problem is the left port on the record player doesnt seem to be working so inly have the right port, quick or easy fix? Or expensive job?

I have this radio,,,n lots of antique and vintage radio's collection ❤

That looks like a "music centre" that was produced under various names by the "Thorn Electrical Industries" Company. I used to work on those in the 1970's when I worked at the Thorn Factory in Newhaven, Sussex, England from 1970-1979. I can't remember the Model no's of them but they were quite a nice unit. I think the BSR record deck was a "P182" but as it is 50 years ago, I could be wrong🤣

I don't really have hopes for you to answer, but I found one of these inside of our shed/workshop and tried it out. It still works, everything works, even both tape players that failed for you are still in working condition. Sadly it was very dirty. And even though I cleaned it as good as I can from the outside I now have problems with all of the sliding potentiometers for equalization and volume. The speakers cut in and out, some frequencies are just gone spontaneusly and they are very, very scratchy. I can sometimes touch them in specific ways and the speakers will fully work for as long as I hold my fingers there. So it definetely is some kind of loose connection. Probably from dirt and corrosion inside of the sliders. I would like to know how I can get these back into working condition with minimal risk of damage, since the boombox is otherwise in decent condition and, as I said, works. I'm also struggeling with opening the thing up. Don't want to damage it and I've never worked on audio equipment before. ; ) But I'm gonna figure it out eventually.

My mother's Kenwood chef was indestructible. Just bought one second hand.

he talk bullshit

There are threads about this problem on message boards. I bought some silicone vacuum hose and cut off a slice of it to replace that rubber piece that had disintegrated. The hose should be 2mm i.d. and 5 or 6mm o.d. For my RT-1157, I did not need to remove the bearing, only the capstan/flywheel itself. The challenge is getting all the goo out once that's done. Just like you, I often wonder why I spend so many hours with these things.

Got one of these in my mother's mobile home

Those things gave me the willies when I was a little un. They looked like they had eyes and I dreaded what they’d sound like on 10…

I had one these but the gears on playback wore out

I have the Them Boombox

horrible little item, should sent it back for a refund

Hi, I’ve recently acquired a music centre like this from an auction and after being tested when switched on the turntable doesn’t seem to work (it doesn’t start to spin when arm is moved) I’m thinking the belt needs replacing but can’t work out how to get to it, any help would be greatly appreciated as I can’t find a user manual online, cheers!

I hawe the same mechanism. As new.

The easy fix for the slow speed. Is to just change the Electrolytic caps. We got this one in 1979. I just finished restoring mine.

River alwaysa gave cheap and nasty garbage technology the contempt it deserved. When he was known as AG3304 he chucked one of those horrible generic personal cassette players that ate tapes in the fireplace after someone suggested he burn it! I always hated those cheap and nasty Steepletone fake nostalgic tat like this. Why buy this vile POS when you can easily buy a genuine vintage 30s or 40s radiogram off EBay?

I just rescued one today, sitting there by the side of the road looking like a lost kitten... cleaned it, did some basic electrical testing and she runs like a top. I've told the missus i just want to tidy it up and rehome it, but i think we all know how that story ends...

Just got one given to me by a family member. It was brought over from the UK to Canada. Just received the dough hook I ordered from Amazon. Works beautifully. Why would someone discard such a treasure!

Nice, talented man. That one seems like a nightmare, somone is selling one here in Norway, saying it worked fine at last test. But i think it helps to change belts and etc. Cheap one, 200 nok. I think i stay away 😅

Nice, i read this model is very reliable. Online it said

Looks good 👍

Bought an Amstrad hifi in a cabinet back in 1984 ,never had any problem with it , still works and has out lived some more expensive hi-fi's

I bet you never realized that Neal made for a very short time a high speed 3.75 ips version. I used to sell them. Until production stopped as it contravened the Philips license agreement for cassettes. It sounded very good.

Do you know how to replace the belt, on the backside there, i have a similar one, N4407, but it seem difficult, i think i know how to do it. But nice to ask for advice, my belt didn't melt, still intact, the fast forward wheel did melt after opening it up. 😅

A bit of advice. Dump it into the nearest dumpster. What a load of tat. If you open it up, it has the circuitry of a low end Sashio ghetto blaster. 8, YES I REPEAT 8 lousy watts per channel. Those tweeters on the speakers are not actually tweeters. They are decorations. If you think that sounds good, you need your ears testing. Dreadful things. Bottom dredging marketing strategy, make as much money for yourself while destroying the middle ground hi-fi market for everyone else. Who would buy a far superior Sony or Panasonic midi system for £239 while this "mugs eyeful" was being sold for £149? A lot of kids were sucked in by the shiny front panel.

Interesting, what did you lubricate with?

A beautiful record player and record

Terrible things. TechMoan reviewed one recently: ua-cam.com/video/Zqzrm_4_B94/v-deo.html

Rip River. Great guy. Will always be missed

Thanks for uploading this fascinating video. I had a similar record player for a time. One which a relative got rid of and let me have. Mine also lacked an autochanger spindle and didn't work in automatic mode if the holding arm was down (The turntable would power on, the arm would lift up, come back down and shut off again).

whether one gets these systems to work or not, the RMS output is so low, like 8 watts per channel, its terrible, aint worth playing a record or recording from one

Rip River You was always entertaining with your videos.

Rip River, you was a great guy.

Rip River.

It come with USB lead and it compatible with Windows 10 or Windows 11?.

Nice, i am working on my 4407 but finding that small lockring pliers are not easy

Pmpo was the rms value x4.

My grandparents had one similar but without the cassette deck on the side.
