WOW-looking forward the restoration of this machine !!!

I have one of these but it doesn’t switch on. It used to. I’ve tried switch cleaner but still doesn’t work.

This might need a little bit of a clean. There's a few specs of dirt on it. I hope you can get this working.

Retro_restos. Is there a email I can contact you thru?

In my collection I used to have a ghetto blaster made by silver, with a built-in little keyboard. I sold it on eBay years ago though as the keyboard was so gimmicky and sounded very Naff.

so dirty i thought this was one of the fake restoration videos where they take stuff from the road 😂, subscribed

subbed!

Looks like that boombox was stored laying on its back in a shed/warehouse/garage for it to be ‘that’ dirty

neat stuff

I had same model back then.. I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need another..

That's a really nice player. Love the metal flywheels. So glad it's been saved. Towel Of Destiny is such a good sport😊❤ Greetings from Trinidad😊

retro_restos Hello Could you provide me with your current email. Please.

Great work another nice sanyo model the case sanyo put with the early personnel stereo,s have done a great job of protecting the units .I recently bought an m3330 in grey with new belts but not playing i de soldered the wires and seller had made a mistake putting the piece that slides with the idler tyre in wrong ,i now have it working nicely and it seems the seller fitted decent belts apart from tweaking the head alignment and again the case has protected it not a mark on it .The one thing with these sanyo,s is they all have a great look styling wise and they all tend to sound great .

Could you possibly do a video on further maintenance? I'm not sure how to remove the pinch-roller and adjust the tape speed.

Is it for sale?

I got a sanyo radio cassette as a project will be looking to get new belts for it

Is this for sale now?

I talos have this model which I know has an issue with the cassette player and the tuner needs cleaning. Missing shoulder harness as well. I would like to find someone capable of providing this service.

Hi matey can you have a look at mine which needs the belts doing and speaker looking at if so how much would you charge many thanks Simon.

This was actually my second childhood cassette recorder, my first being a white and yellow kiddicraft one, I was asked to give my old one to my younger brother but I said no since it had a earphone jack but this sony one didn't, so I ended up with both :) and my grandma brought my brother a seperate one.

Great video as always! These things have got to be quite rare these days cause I haven’t seen one of those for years!!!

An introduction to the “boombox” for a child 😁

Nice beginner video. What’s the app you use for the pitch?

Hi. Where can one get more of those buttons?

Hi There, Just literally picked up one of these on eBay at really good price. Just wondering if you checked the motor speed as well, looks straight forward to carry out service as well 😎👍

Hey i recently picked up a M-G34DT that's unfortunately completely dead. When yours appeared to be dead, what was it that you had to go back into it to adjust? I didn't quite make out what you were talking about in the video.

how about old portable sw radio sir maybe you can reuse its speaker i mean some people can repair old vacumm tube radio receiver and put bluetooth receiver on it

I bought a MIB (mint-in-box) of this model 22 years ago off e-bay. Saddest piece I ever had to sell.

I had this model it was a BEAST and I really wish that Id hung on to it and cant actually remember what happened to it..sad

Great find, definitely needs a new belt and a clean

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Japanese mechatronics at their best, almost. The last hurrah for their fascination with miniaturization was the Minidisc phenomenon, which was all-encompassing (in Japan), for over a decade. Then came the iPod and the iPhone and it all disappeared within a few years. So sad

Reli approved

☹️ ~ poor lighting; for that final test shot you had glare/reflection on the analog meter so we couldn’t see its needle pivot indicating battery level (functioning as a power indicator in this case), and almost too bright to see the cassette recorders track scan LEDs - could see the one on the left blinking. Another thing you don’t test is recording to cassette; we get to see the meter swinging to the ‘VUs’, that the switch-over thing works, the pre-amp & erase head and the over-write tab releases record key

I’m looking forward to seeing how your service on the small Sanyo goes. I managed to change the belt on mine but it has another issue with the gears. It constantly cycles through auto reverse backwards and forwards while playing the tape. It’s very small and fiddly in there so I had to abandon trying to fix it. Didn’t want to break it any more!

I’ve still got mine but it’s the slightly later model with the touch screen buttons on the front. It’s even smaller I think! I bought it in Boots for 99 pounds! JJP101

Hey I have a astro wars and I'm trying to repair. But it plays the sound at the beginning then cuts off after and the whole thing dies and that's it. Any ideas how I can fix this

Thanks for the video, i've just acquired a Toshiba RT70s in Red, I had the same set over 10+ years ago, I did exactly the same as you and stripped it down and cleaned pots and switches and a thorough degrease and clean of the front casing. Like yours my belt had degraded to mush. Now its working perfectly and my teenage kids love it.

Hi - I am just about to embark on cleaning up and fixing a Toshiba Bombox 16. If the belt has disintegrated, how do I find the correct size and what grease do you use please? Also what do you use to clean the casing? Thanks

we have an aiwa with a very similar size. it has surprisingly good audio quality

There is a smaller one out there. Look into the Sony WM-20. It was the exact size of the cassette case used to store the cassette. You would pull to slide the player tray longer then place it the cassette to play it.

OMG, this was the first music player I ever bought. it seemed so cool beck then. Thanks for the memories.

Oh dude. This was my boombox. I sill have it around but i sadly was never able to fix it

The Sanyo Walkman (M4440) featured at 6'45" was the first walkman I ever owned. I got it for Christmas 1982, and still have it ... and it still works!!

Hello, I currently have the same device on the table, I have cleaned it and replaced all the belts. Forward and rewind works, but the play function doesn't. It just spins one coil and then it shuts off. What could that be?

Techmoan did a video just yesterday about this, well actually it was the Grundig branded version which is basically the Sanyo with a Grundig badge.

Smallest. Walkman. .play. Stereotypes

The sanyo m5550 was sanyo,s first personnel stereo and came before the m4440 .

i'd love to see the p4 compared to sony's 1987 wm-501. they are very similar in design, and i wonder how they compare in size. they look to me very very similar in size.

Is the crossover working; is the treble distinct/heard from the voice-coil tweeter and midrange-bass from the woofer?
