There are a few variations of this Toshiba model series; some have the motor at the back of the deck mechanism, some have it at the front. What I like about these is their basic design, and ease of access to fix a problem should it arise. Reasonable quality for a budget boombox when everything works properly.
Even though there is no selector switch for bias/tape type, most of these RT models can record to Normal, Chrome, and Metal tapes. (Perhaps a strong recording made on a tape deck would leave a faint incomplete erasure on Metal erased over in this Toshiba.) The unit has a white DC Bias erasure head, usually are black in tape decks. As you would expect, these RT models are AC Bias for good recording quality.
Many years ago, I had a neighbor who let me borrow her RT-120 model, and found out it records properly on Normal, CrO2, and Metal type tapes. The radio records very well, the internal microphones sound good but more sensitive to lower frequency range, but the line and microphone inputs hardly picked up a signal (either defective or wired incorrectly at the factory). Finding these new on eBay is rare to nonexistent, and those that are used are parts only or have had lots of use. This is a very nice unit with a common style that reminds me of grilling out steak. Yeah, the speaker grilles. Get it, grills?
I didn't show that I lubricated the front and rear bearings on the motor (it made an awful noise), as well as the capstan bearing.... it's hard to get these running perfect (for me).
@@EricMarschner I own a couple of Toshibas like this (not the same model though) and they both use a 9V motor in the tape deck. One of them needed the motor replaced because during cassette operation it would suddenly squeal and run very slow. Not fixable, so it was replaced with a good used one I'd pulled from a junked Sharp GF-A1. Worked fine after that. The other just needed a new belt (the original had melted into a nasty gooey mess). The models I have - RT-6015, RT-6016. Made in Japan and easy to service.
Honestly I buy belts in bulk from Amazon - often cheaper than sourcing the exact belt from a reseller. You’ll need either a 1mm or 2mm square belt, so just buy a grab bag of belts of that type and thickness.

I'll do some recording tests with this....

Only reason to own one is to put it on your shoulder and go look for 4 D batteries

Hi, great videos. I have a similar boombox, the RT-6015 all black. Where can I get a belt for it? Thanks.

@@EricMarschner Thanks for the info. I will look into that.
