Yeah, the 058 speakers come from the FH-5. I've had mine (USA) since new and I actually discovered your channel trying to get up the nerve to repair the cassette player. They sound amazing when cranked and back in the day I actually found my roommate at the time - who owned a nice Akai receiver with monster speakers - preferred their sound to his setup.
I remember being very impressed with the sound of the FH7 back in the day. Dont think I've even seen the 5, but going by these speakers they must have been around. They would blow away most component systems from the 70s or 80s. You are lucky to have had one from new
I restored an FH-7 MKII last year and it sounds excellent when restored properly with the 3 way speakers. Also have the FH-100W. Just restored a Sony CFS-9000 like new condition which has excellent sound fully working, the Sony CFD-5 with the builtin D-50 cd player and a Sony CFS-W900 all sounding amazing. I had some TDK SAX-90 chrome mix tapes made from a guy in Romania using his Nakamichi Dragon tape deck from digital files I provided. The tapes sound better than my CD version of the songs.
That's a nice collection of Sony's. I could never go back to listening to Cassettes, but some people like the sound more than CD or digital files. I know Metal tapes could reproduce CD nearly as good as the original, and Chrome are pretty good too.
@@StevesElectronicRepairShop I am lucky to have a guy who can produce mix tapes that a so good but he will do it for anyone. I also have a collection of Walkmans inc the famous Sony WM-DD9 like new which plays those tapes perfect and alot of other walkmans with a belt can't handle it with wow and flutter. I had over 50 walkmans restored but sold them and now have just the DD9 and the AIWA PX101 like new too. I have restored 13 x Sony Video walkmans inc the first model Sony GV-8 which is very difficult to find still in semi working order due to the bloody electrolytic caps leaking. A Sony GV-500 I bought a few years ago came with a heap of original video 8 movies too. I have also restored a number of Sony Watchmans TVs inc a very rare Watchcube colour FDL-330. I have one fully working out of 3. Common issue is the LCD front filter turns yellow and the backlight fails. All of my video walkmans use a sharp LCD which all work great still. The later 90s model which looks like a clam shell design are shit and the lcd all fail. Yeah I really enjoy this hobby. For something different most recently restored 3 x Sony Aibo robot dogs too. The first ERS-111 model the second ERS-210 and the latest ERS-1000 model. lots of fun to use and try different software. I do also have 2 x Sony "Indextron" tvs which need restoring. Both suffered the bad cap leakage. A guy in Texas specializes on them and I will send to him to restore. Unless you can do it.?
@@Raptor50aus You have some cool stuff. I forgot about the robot dogs. Those capacitors are a real problem in things like the Indextrons. I have seen videos of people fixing them. It would be best to send to someone that specialises in them and knows all the problems caused by cap leakage. I have seen the damage they do in video cameras and DCC decks and its no fun trying to get them going.
With little bit large holes with 25mm/80mm bass reflex port , you can gain more bass.
