Thanks for the offer, but not likely to get to Chicago in the near future..... Mom appears to like the Bose Soundtouch so that may be what she ends up with. I would much prefer one of those nice, shelf system from years gone by but to each their own..... Robert

Hi Guys, My Mom has recently moved into a very small apartment and is in need of mini shelf type stereo setup. As usual, such things involving technology fall to me and I have no idea where to start a search for such a system these days. Several years back TEAC and a few others (radio, CD...

Craig, Best wishes for a quick recovery.... Robert

I have the stereo version of this recorder and it did a very good job recording.... The mono version were the defacto practice recorder for many musicians in the day. The variable speed control allowed one to slow the music down and easily pick out riffs and harmonies. Robert

Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a great 2018.... Robert

Merry Christmas to everyone here on the forum..... Hopefully all will have a great day with family and friends. Robert

Thank you Steven and all the other folks that make this happen..... I for one, really enjoy these Christmas collections. Robert

Happy Birthday Nando! BTW: Those are some very nice looking cassette decks. Robert

Yes, that has to be a living nightmare....... Glad to hear that thus far all is fine fine for your family. Robert

Have a great Birthday! Robert

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving... Robert

I have an interest in following this conversation..... Robert

Interesting topic....... Yes, Larry was one of the main tape reload guys here on the forum. I had many interesting conversations with Larry on his reload adventures. At one point (just before his passing) I was almost ready to buy a couple of his machines just for the engineering challenge...

If I remember right...... #1 failure mode is high leakage or shorting. #2 High ESR. #3 Open or low cap value. I kinda remember failures caused by ripple or noise riding on a DC voltage which basically exceeded the voltage rating of the cap. The caps would physically blow apart in some...

If the switch is in the position shown on the schematic I would check the capacitor C22 and C29. It looks to me as if those caps go to ground. If one or both are shorted the current would be higher as Lee had mentioned. I assumed that the +24V is from the power supply rail and that the small...

Thanks everyone for posting the photos, very cool! Ha, proof there can be traffic jams in WY.... It was about 50% here in MN then the clouds rolled in, huge bummer.... Robert

Lee summed it up pretty well..... After playing engineer for several decades I'll just add that sometimes all the docs are all wrong and that design errors have been known to have been manufactured (sometimes for years!). About all one can do is reverse engineer what is found and devise a...

Ha, you can hardly find a motel in WY during the off season! I'll bet this event will be a real circus when the people population almost equals the Pronghorn. Robert

If you guys are having issues with screws, have you looked at Socket Head Cap Screws? There are various head styles if the normal ones will not work. https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-socket-head-screws/=18fp7io Robert

If Menards does not have it, you likely really don't need it! :) Robert
