As far as I'm aware, other than this one, only the CS-2010 and the Japanese AWM have cassette decks with the latter being the only one that also has a CD player.
I wouldn't record over tapes with valuable recordings like these, I've done it once or twice and regret it right after. There's just something special about listening to an old low-fi recording from the original piece of media. If you want to have the same mixtapes in better quality I would suggest finding the same tapes (probably not a very easy thing with that Vivox) or just find a some tape in a similar shell and clone the stickers and j-cards, that way you'll have both the originals and the remasters. And the other thing to consider is that there's no guarantee that those old tapes won't be full of dropouts when you try to record over them.
Just to add, although two monts later, an AC of 15 volts, after the transformer, rectified should definately be around 18 volts DC on the smooting capacitor. The problem might be the grid AC voltage and the transformer set for a lower one. For ex the transformer is expecting 110V but is getting 120V.
The tuner is completely dead...it occurred the opposite way round over here in my cassette radio CD player...cheaply made Bush LoFi...Tape wheels fell out first..then CD went on one channel..then I tried to fix it..failed and no CD sound..but the digital radio still works..I'd even say perfectly..so it hasn't been thrown in the rubbish as eWaste..not yet
I remember seeing these in the store...I didn't like any Bose stuff...they don't have any tone or base control....I had the radio CD version...I finally got rid of mine....I have Philips....Sony .. Panasonic and now Aiwa.. they all sound fantastic....the only thing is the European style that is all it is about...but sound no good 👇... The other important thing surround sound is not included...👇..so sad becouse it could of been good

The volume control sounds really good.
If i am right fella, that is one of the few bose systems with a tape deck

Valiant efforts.

I would record any air talk from the tapes, and record the music from a hires audio source, such as Tidal. Keep the original tapes as is.
