very cool

I have the sanyo, bought new in about 1984

Hi. I have the same deck being repaired with the same problems (already resolved). However, one problem stand still. This is a dropped out spring that helps opening the cassette door (part number 101-G in service manual). I can't figure out how it stays in place. Can you please help me with a photo or just an explanation of where I should put it?

Captions would be nice. None available for this video right now.

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

did you keep the transmission and what was the total cost to convert

What sort of range do you get?

I love that you’ve mated the motor to the powerglide. Most people leave out the transmission and I always wonder why.

Una joya japonesa original ahora hacen puras mugres malas y tampoco ya no hacen

lol I just realized how good AirPlay sounds for listening to music on my stereo Hifi set up 😅

1.) Where did the Ctepm gauge come from? Is that part of a Thunderstruck BMS maybe? 2.) What, no cookies in the dirt!? >:) 3.) Glad to hear the early GM turn signal cancelation ring is still broken <3

👍👍👌👌😊😊🌹🌹

i finally did and repaired mine mostly using your video. the deck plays perfectly fine. thanks again it is really helpfull. it was a fiddly task though. especially getting that mechanism out of there. i somehow lost the spring to the door opening mechanism, found it on the circuit board, picked it up with plyers and dropped it on the floor in a mindless moment. spent a good amount of time crawling on the floor looking for that spring until i just took a spare spring out of a broken mechanism. works just as fine but super annoying lol

Nice video, do you mind sharing the link for this kind of radio tape? Kind regards :)

Nice tape transport mechanism replacement - sometimes repairing the original is not possible and if it is, it won't be very reliable long-term. Another little radio saved from going to landfill and hopefully added to your collecton.😇 I did say in a previous video that the Realistic SCR-40 looks similar to the Sharp QT-50, and they both probably use the same tape deck assembly, but the QT-50 does not have a plastic handle (it comes with an optional shoulder strap). The side handle on the Realistic is more common with Twin-Cam Sharp decks from 1986. 2 thumbs up. 👍👍

NAHHHH OK SO FIRST I GET RECOMMENDED A VIDEO OF A BOOMBOX I OWNED 5 YEARS AGO THEN I GET RECOMMENDED A VIDEO OF A CD PLAYER I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT OFF OF EBAY THEN I GET RECOMMENDED THIS VIDEO OF A BOOMBOX THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME LOOK AS MY BUSH PORTABLE CASSETTE PLAYER??? WHAT IS GOING ONNNN??? THIS IS ACTUALLY GETTING RIDICULOUS!!!

The scrolling through all the stations was so perfect 😂

What song follows the Final Test 07:58 song in this video?

I had repair this model

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?

Bende toshiba 80 var fm cok kötü çekiyor sorun ne olabilir teşekkürler

That Realistic SCR-40 looks similar to the Sharp QT-50.

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.

Years we often had these come on for repair. I seldom see them tody.

I can hear some Wow & flutter on it but good job.

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

Nostalgia is a great thing, isn't it? I thankfully re-bought all boomboxes me and my best friends had back in the '80s!!!! Only thing I haven't found yet is a headset radio!

Cool. I have one that look just like that Realistic but it is GPX and has a clear body and handle on top.

Gotta a Toshiba model

Why do people keep calling them "Ear Buds"? In the 80's, they were called "Headphones" - I also feel this is the proper term.

realistic is sanyo

I thought it might be new old stock...it is just old used radios. Why is that a thing?

I still have my Optimus Pro 7's had them since 1990's and still going stronger then ever! No speaker rot and they still sound like I just bought them!

Good video, I've already started my collection, I have 3 so far and 1 on the way, what is your opinion? Are they worth collecting??

Unique looking unit.

Wow, impressed! Even via UA-cam, these sound good.

I had a pair of Radio Shack Nova 8B four way 12" large magnet woofer speakers and damn they sounded good for not being a name brand. Ended up selling them to buy a pair of Pioneer HPM 100's and I dont regret it and I still have the HPM100's in like new condition but again those 8B's had real walnut veneer very strong tight woofers very well built cabinets and beautiful sound.

Mui bueno.. qe potencia tiene?

Nice job. These units are probably not worth much money so to pay a technician to re-belt and service this machine is cost prohibitive. I suspect you took care of this Panasonic because you love it and you fully intend to use and enjoy it. I would do the same thing.

The last one looks like it lived with a smoker, the juicy nicotine stained fingers deposited some on the knbs and switches, yuck.

Hidden problems within all decks! That take-up idler gear on the capstan is something I've not seen before, must admit I'd be 'turned off' by that. Just MO.

I think i had one of those... it was the least expensive tape deck for sale for some time....

Not a terrible repair at all. You did well. 😊 * According to some Sharp service manual parts lists, the capstan tyre is named as a "shaft sleeve". You can cut a piece of 2mm x 5mm silicon rubber tubing to 5 mm length and it will work the same way, unless you are able to order the correct parts for your model (the inner diameter/hole is 2 mm; the outer diameter of the tubing must be no less than 5 mm otherwise it won't make contact with the idler wheel). The capstan in your deck is similar to the type used in the more popular portable GF-555 and GF-666 models. The big plus is it all works properly after the repairs and you don't have any vital parts or screws left over. 😇

I enjoyed the video. I made this same repair on a couple of rt-10s two years ago. I wish you had made this video before then, would have made my job a lot easier. I learned by just diving in.

Wow! In original box! GE got out of the consumer audio electronics biz in 1985, if I'm not mistaken. What a find!

thanks for the video! now i feel safe to start repairing my rt-10 :) by the way i think the RT-10 has a cooler look compared to the RT-20... more 'analog' style with less computerised parts. i wish it had classic analog VU-Meters though. Since you have both: is there a difference in sound quality between them? or is the difference just about the display of the RT-20?

I didn't hear the engine running! From Texas 🤠🤯

That's cool but WE want to see if they work properly... It's the most interesting....

Thank you for the post. I have the same model and the take up wheel would not turn when play. The roller and capstan work and the take up wheel would not turn to take up the tape. I have not taken the deck mechanism apart yet but want to know if the take up wheel is driven by the pulley tire or if there is a belt between that drives the take up wheel. Were you able to find a replacement of the pulley tire locally? Any info you could share will be much appreciated.

so what did you end up using for the idler on the sharp? just the slightly overpriced eBay parts? read something about using silicone tubing. i am between just getting the ebay parts or messing with silicone tubes. what would you recommend?
