I have a Sony that has a hum when you try to play a cassette.
My late father has an AIWA with detachable speakers at his home that also does the exact same thing. Hums when you push play on the cassette.
@@dorianorossiit might be smoothing caps on the power supply have leaked out. Or a grounding issue in the chassis. Im not sure
Thank you. I didn't see the screws under the handle. Those arrows are helpful till they're not.
@@castIexyn 🤣🤣🤣 well said!
I had a cfd-6 and replaced belt it’s playing slow do you know why
The belt may be either too thin or loose or both. If it is the proper size, then I'd imagine there is a pully cog wheel that needs to be replaced. They physically get smaller after time due to friction.
Man I have 2 D8300 Magnavox boombox but there is no body that fix this anymore here in Florida is a shame .
BOOMBOX!!❤❤❤
BOOOM!
So the only thing I didn't hear you mention when you switched the belts is what size of belt(s) did you actually use??
I dont remember now, but I do remember they were the wrong width. All I had was an assortment of belts from Amazon. If you search the model number or check out a specialty website dedicated to replacement belts, you should be able to find a kit or at least the right size belts.
Nice
@@RichardsonKoltrdcjiogsduone thank you!
i just bought this same boombox at goodwill very clean , all works but the cassette, it sounds like its on but does nothing , hope this video helps
If you have any questions, let me know! Sounds like belts are the problem
Where do you get your belts?
It was an assorted bag I got from Amazon.
I put a link to the belts in the description. Thanks for watching!
@@Blownproductions thank you!
14:25 its full of WHAT 😱😭
I MEANT GOOP!!! 😆😆😆 If I had caught that, I would have cut it, lol.
No disrespect intended.
If it makes you feel better, you can call me a WOP. 🤣🤣🤣
У меня такой только cfd-6,еще чистый японец, покупал в 96 году, на динамиках надпись маден япон, и 5 ватт
The date on the batteries is the use-by date. Sometimes you can get away with batteries that are still good long after the use-by date has passed, but they probably won't last as long as new batteries. And since they have a shelf life of about 12 years, thereabouts, those batteries could have been purchased when the boombox was quite new. Also, just to let you know, there's always the risk of battery leakage, so it's never a good idea to leave batteries in the compartment for a long time. The good news is that Energizer Lithium batteries will NEVER leak! They have an entirely different chemistry that keeps them from ever leaking. Of course they are more expensive, but they will last in storage for 20 years, at least. And they'll power something a lot longer than alkaline batteries will. Put AA and AAA lithium batteries in your TV remote control and they should last the life of your TV set. They're noticeably lighter too.
Nice! Thank you for the info!😀👍
why you didn't show you taking putting on belts you said it was easy but didn't show
I dont remember why I didn't show it. It has to be super evident and self explanatory if I didn't show it. Maybe I can pull it out tonight and do a quick video on how to change the belts.👍
It,s from 1994
I went and checked, and yup! 1994
Thank you!
Do you have one, too? I actually love this little boombox!
