I have a new channel that's.....dead
Quick test of a Sharp QT-CD5
The original spindle cracked due to old age and would spin correctly but I found another one that fits perfectly and works like a charm.

The Sony xplod didn’t work correctly so the original one had to be put back in.

Lennox sound cassette player freakshow
Hey I have one of these. It’s my grandmas I just got batteries for it and found some beach boy cassettes for it. Only issue is cassette player doesn’t work. When I press play it doesn’t really move I have to get it to move by lightly pressing the pause button. I’m curious if this is a common issue and if you know how I could fix it.
@@littledino1515 Hello. It is most likely a belt issue inside the unit. You can get replacement belts off of Amazon or eBay for extremely cheap.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 alright thank you!
Please AM tuning
Amazing video, I used to own a boombox from the year 2000, I also had the Sony mhc gx45 but i lost it so I switched to the 25, but good video!
Like the progress mike
i had trouble actually opening it. i thought i had unscrewed everything but I just could not get the top half off.
for the tuner it might be a burnt out bulb
I wonder what kind of bulb it takes
@@mikesjunkytech9425unless it uses a vacuum fluorescent display it won't have a bulb for a backlight. it could be a bad solder joint or a missing voltage.
it looks like it's for the doors to dampen it it probably goes in the front
Unfortunately it’s not for the doors. They still open slowly, when I first got the unit, the tape players did work but I was going back and forth between play and fast-forward and that’s when I saw those little springs fly out and the then spindals weren’t spinning anymore so those little springs I’m guessing work with changing between Stop, Play, Rewind and Fast-foward.
@@mikesjunkytech9425oh ok you can maybe find the service manual hifi engine didn't have this model but they had the model rx540 which is close to the model you have. hifiengine is free but you have to make an account
Oh I hate when I use a function and another function is used instead without even pressing that button. (When you were ffwd the cd track and random activated)
AM bandscan is perfect :) Thank you and I look forward to more videos :P
What track is this?
I don't think there is a reset procedure for the MHC-EC50. I'm not finding one in the service manual. Also it seems like a physical issue with the CD drawer mechanism as opposed to a software thing. Could try using the reset procedure for the MHC-EC55: 1. Turn on the stereo. 2. Press PLAY MODE/TUNING MODE, FUNCTION, and (the power button) at the same time. 3. "RESET" appears on the display and the stereo turns off.
Thank you for your feedback. I’ll definitely try the EC55 reset on it and hopefully that fixes it. I’ve had pretty bad luck with mini systems these past few years but this one I hope turns out to be a good one since it’s 100% complete except the manual.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 I got my MHC-EC55 mostly complete as well, with original remote and replacement antenna. It's too bad the CD mech and circuitry in mine is dead...would make for a good repair project one day. Hopefully everything goes well for your MHC-EC50!
The iPhone 15 has a good camera what to be expected.
I love your videos. More radio tuning videos please :p
I heard this track on VWestlife’s channel many times
You got your GPX on!
Why do you have all of this medicore old stereo systems Sell them all and build a nice seprates system.
I have some really nice receivers and cd players to build a nice system with but I choose to use to use these mini systems since I don't have to worry about my nicer audio equipment getting damaged in anyway but when I move to a more permanent place I will be build a good system with quality equipment.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 alright
Did you ever get your LG Stereo to work?
Sort of but it kept having issues so I ended up getting rid of it
You haven’t uploaded in a long time
I just haven't been motivated to record anything.
Any way to connect an AUX to it and listen to Spotify?
Yo Do you have Facebook ? U should get Facebook so we can chat about stereos
omg of course the first thing i noticed was all the boomboxes piled up on one of the shelves lol
That's not even half of them 🤣
@@mikesjunkytech9425 lmfao
What's the song playing?
i'm having trouble taking mine apart, do you know of any teardown guides or something like that?
Mine had no issues taking it apart so I'm not really sure how to help you with that but I suggest asking others with the same radio and they might be able to help you.
did you ever find out how to take it apart? mine seems super stuck
Im trying to think of the reason the play isn't staying down in place, as Im trying to remember if I had similar issues like that before. Also was the take-up spool not rotating while you had the play held down? if the belts were replaced and that still was happening, id think the cog that's in the middle isn't going into place when play is pushed.
I'll probably take it apart today and try to see if thats the problem.
Bomboox love you 🤬🤬🤬😍😍😍😍
I thought FYE all closed down by now
1:00 in and thats the white leaver i was talking about. It may be pushing up against the capstan.
I had that happen to me before. If i remember right the white plastic leaver that operates the pause is out of place and its rubbing on the underside of that round capstan. You'll have to remove that to easily get to that piece.
Thats going to be fun to do🙂
I FINALLY got it apart
@@mikesjunkytech9425 sweet!
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 IT WORKS 😃
@@mikesjunkytech9425 Awesome! So that white piece was the cause i take it?
I don't think it is a Heritage Lancaster, because Lancasters usually have a smaller motor housing and a smaller switch cap. It could be a Halsey?
Thats what im thinking it is since it really doesn't look like a Lancaster.
UPDATE: I NO LONGER HAVE THIS UNIT!
Nice fan
Thanks
@@mikesjunkytech9425 anytime
Hey thats the same model I saw when I was in grade school! I used to go to the after school program.... yes it sucked... anyway, and that same boombox was there and I got to bring cassettes and make some mix tapes with it. Its a great sounding boombox!
Im still trying to get it one of these days
Hey I see that Memorex boombox... thats the one I bought from the FYE I went to last year.
There still overpriced too which sucks
@@mikesjunkytech9425 Ya it does. :(
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 I did get a small pair of iLIVE 2.1 speakers with a sub which sound..mehhh but hey they work.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 Ive got a pair of speakers from iLive They glow blue all around. And ya id say my thoughts on how they sound is pretty much what you said about the ones you got.
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 lol
Heritage Lancaster
Thanks 😊
@@mikesjunkytech9425 you’re welcome
Toi rat muon mua may nay

How do I cannect my phone in the phones to listen?
Awesome! Success!
Hey I made a new channel. This is Chris btw, the one who does the vids of boomboxes and clocks. Anyway my new channel Is just my channel, not shared by anyone else. Look up Games, Clocks, & Electronics (GCE). Im still going to be using the old one that everyones subbed to, just may not be as much. So plz stay subbed to that one too.
Ok
Hmm I cant seem to find your new channel
@@mikesjunkytech9425 ya that is odd lol I looked for it under this channel and nothing. I'll figure it out soon i hope lol
@@mikesjunkytech9425 Now I think the reason behind that is because ive yet to upload any vids. ive heard once two or three vids are uploaded to a new channel and there public the channel is shown in the search results. So ill get to uploading a few to that channel soon hopefully.
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 hopefully I'll find it
Playing via the radio? Im happy to see that you were able to keep this!
I am too since these are childhood radios of mine.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 Same with me :) I grew up around White Westinghouse/Lenoxx Sound/Durabrand/Soundesign radios.
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 my first boombox was a Memorex MP8806 (black) and I remember everyone had one of those because they were very basic and cheap.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 Oh yes... those... lol those sounded awful in my opinion. My first boombox was a RCA RP-7768A. It was a dual cassette player. From the 90s, so there was no CD player. However I loved it. Made so many mix tapes with it.
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 they did sound awful but people bought them.
Sounds pretty good, for what it is.
Thanks
That...sounds very good...not even considering the FM transmitter...it just sounds great!
It does sound great for a 26 year old boombox.
Ahh yes alright its basically the same one that i used to have. there is some slight differences but overall the same. Which is cool. It seems like the cd door doesn't stay closed.
The cd player works but you have to hold the door closed because it's broken. The cassette player needs new belts but other wise it works just fine.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 ahh ok.
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 yeah. Other wise it sounds pretty decent for what it is.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 ya it sounds decent for sure. Least its not tinny sounding.
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 exactly. I don't like that much treble anyways.
Was the sound test from the cassette player?
Nope. I had a FM transmitter plugged into my old phone and I had it tuned into a certain station on the radio
@@mikesjunkytech9425 Oh nice one of those. I recently got a FM transmitter for $7. It does a great job.
@@mikesjunkytech9425 Ive been thinking for a few days now about doing a vid of the one i got and how it sounds with the radio tuned in oni it.
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 mine is by scosche
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 you should also thanks for subscribing
This boombox sound really good
