    The video ends suddenly so I wondered did the belt swap fix the cassette issue and any luck with that speaker? Thanks

      I vaguely remember that job. But it was fixed. The box wasn't that easy to service because of the way it was built. I have another toshiba to fix (not the same model), and I will try not to make an abrupt ending.

    Greetings! Tell me, what are the two belts in size for the Toshiba RT-7037?

      Greetings! Square belts. 16 cm inside circumference and 20.8 cm inside circumference. About 1 mm thick. And I can't guarantee that this info is right. More info I don't have.

    Can you help me with my Panasonic unit? The switch on tape and radio work well and play tape has to sound. But FM/AM I can not get any station or static at all. Please help if you do not mind. Thank you. It

      Maybe the switches were oxidized; this happens quite often and using them makes the unit work again. It would be a good idea to work all the switches back and forth a few times or spray contact cleaner on them.

      @@OldSchoolElectronics Do you mean the switch from tape/FM and AM selection?

    • @OldSchoolElectronics

      That is the function switch. Yes, that switch and all the other switches too. But, you can also leave everything alone, since everything is working.

    How did you remove the silver knob, because I can't pull it off.

    • @OldSchoolElectronics

      I don't have this Toshiba anymore, but the knob should pull right off. You can try to get 2 spoons under the knob and then put equal pressure on both sides; the spoons have to be opposite each other. Maybe the spoons will fit under the edge of the knob. Do this slowly and carefully.

    Hello good sir, i have a toshiba RT-6035 unfortunately the left speaker produces almost no sound while the right one its loud, so i tried to replace the speaker but the same problem occured I don't want to throw it away it was a gift from my father any advice in what might be?

      Hello. This could even be a bad contact problem if you are lucky. If you don't have contact cleaner, you can try working all switches and controls a few times. If that doesn't work you might have to get the contact cleaner, which is something you should do anyway on such an old unit. Also see if it does this with all functions; radio, cassette, etc. If it still doesn't work you will need the schematic and test instruments. It could be any number of things.
