Takes me back - I used to have one of these, my dad bought it new in 1973. Came with a demonstration cassette of instrumental music. One weird thing was when you were recording, the monitor level was set by the switch on the side (off/low/hi)
Fond memories. I love these, but this one has me flummoxed! Shortly afterwards, Sanyo models had an automatic level control to negate the need for the switch - but the switch was still a nice touch for its time. Thanks for watching 👍
@@retro_restos No, I love videos like these. Forgot to say, if I remember correctly the battery level meter was supported by a protrusion from the back cover - so it would kind of float free when this came off (I used to take it apart all the time!)
There is something to be said about '70s tape decks - most of them had metal capstan flywheels for better mechanical balance, greater stability and less W&F. I've repaired a few non-radio mono model Sanyo decks from the 1975-77 era which, except for the winding belt (this is fiddly to remove and replace in some models), were relatively easy to fix.
I agree the 70s models (and generally early 80s) were so well made. The chassis were heavy steel plates and everything screwed together beautifully. Many of the later ones were like toys! Sanyo made some beautiful units in the mid 70s. I featured a nice Stereocast model on the channel last year. Thanks for watching 👍
On some mechs the belt path rather than going around a pulley they sometimes run against it on its way to another pulley but that’s usually for the take up with a clutch rather than for FF
Yeah I tried that too, but to no avail. I bet it's really easy when you know how - but with the old belts being stretched and the mech being almost impossible to get to without it literally coming to bits, there aren't many clues 😂
Hi, Did you manage to get it working? I just bought one of these off eBay and the FF/REW belt was off, I managed to get it back on and it all works as it should but I'd like to replace all the belts with new ones. do you happen to know the belt sizes? (I wish I had measured them while they were off).
Hi, I never did get this one going. It's literally the only machine I didn't finish so far, but I had a few of these, and needed to make room - so stripped them for parts. They'll live on in other units, I'm sure.
The cassette motor is huge. Wow.
Yep. Gotta love the old tech!

@@richrootes yeah - it's like a little cube that swings about on its cables 😀I've had to replace a couple before, as they can easily be knocked in.
Please make a video for walkman sanyo m1010 how to change the belt please thankyou

The funny thing is that this unit is using the exact same brand/model electrolytic capacitors as the Sharp GF9090H.
