Where did you purchase the parts ?
From a company called "Genuine Replacement Parts" in Mary Esther, Florida.
Ah the good ole days of cable TV. When we first got cable in 1980ish nothing was scrambled, they used filters (which many people removed) on the line for HBO and Showtime and they used the knob dial cable box. Many people would set those up on their end tables, running long cables to their TVs, so they could turn the channel without having to get up out of their chairs. We did this until we found a cable box in a catalog that had a remote control. Then around 1984/85 the cable company scrambled every channel (except the locals) using a new technology that required a Tocom box at every TV. The one thing I didn’t like is when they put the local channels on different channel numbers, even with the box it was that way. But like you said, the locals would cause interference if they didn’t do it. Thanks for a ride down memory lane. 😊
Good video. since Panama Greetings.
Better Audio system then modern TVs.. Personally I would love such a rack with an built in tv and speakers..
I had one of these in the early 90's!
They, along with vhs tapes and merchandise from said decades, should be preserved nowadays
I liked this movie a lot. It was futuristic but not post-apocalyptic like many other films. I have also heard a version sung by Kim.Carnes.
It's very old
The dennon multi cassette deck is epic.
Ah so the shelly doesn't actually control the garage door motor, but 'only' simulates a person pushing the remote, which then sends radio signal to the motor controller?
Yes, that is correct.
I have this exact model, and the ice full light is on with no ice in it. Using your video, I was able to locate the sensor. Is there any way to by-pass the sensor or order a new one?
Don't know, but I think that's an infrared beam sensor, if you search KZread for "Ice Full Error Bypass" there are some other people with ideas. Would also try cleaning and making sure the wire is securely connected first...
5:27 these 5 or 6 segment meters really annoy me. If it doesn't have at least 10 segments, I am not owning it!
1:28 : fixture ID plz, already know it was HPS. it actually doesn't to badly damaged. i bet it would still work if powered up with a new lamp.
This was fun to watch, although I rely on my grace mondo elite so much, I bought a new one, anyway.
I recommend getting their RX-C100 and RX-C60; these boomboxes were like Sony's D6/D5/D3.
I tried off brand ink cartridges and it's not recognizing so what do i do now
Do both of these have a line in? When I was a teen in 1978 I had a Sanyo M9994 that was I believe the top of the line and it had short wave stations and I was able to connect a turntable and it sounded like a high end stereo. I just back back into collecting boomboxes and stocking with the smaller ones bc of lack of space. I was avoiding these boomboxes that had the detachable speakers bc I always felt they weren’t as well made. But I just listen to a few on KZread, I was amazed by the sound and these are not as big as I thought they were. Also, with these vintage boomboxes, I think buying the more simple ones like no auto reverse may to better to hold up and even to fix. I think there is another model that looks more like the RX C45 that I saw on eBay, but I can’t remember the model number, but it’s not the RX C52. I was trying to get the RX C35 and it looked fantastic and had 4 speaker for a smaller boombox, but the one that was priced about $110. sold and the other ones with shipping was going for about $175. and a little too much for me. You can get many non completely working vintage b boomboxes for cheap, but bc I wouldn’t know what I’m doing, I sought I can fix and most likely make it worst bc I won’t know what I’m doing. Lol! Anyway, thanks for the comparison and looks like many of the C45 were sold and still many around. Wow! You got yours working for $10. and that’s like a cheap burrito.
Yes, both have a line input... Those Panasonic mini boomboxes with detachable speakers can sometimes be had for a lot less than "traditional single box" style and they sound great. Boom box is one of my saved searches on shopgoodwill, and the prices are very high. For example, last week I saw a Lloyds (cheap KMart brand) boom box that had an 8 track and dual cassette. I thought this would make an interesting video, so I bid $30 - and it ended up selling for $121. Unless you have major $$$ to spend, don't even try on the classics - there was a JVC RC-838JW back in February that sold for $427! Thanks for watching and commenting, and good luck on the collection.
Don't buy ... they get filthy in areas ya can't clean without disassembly. This could get some sensitive people VERY sick.
Wow your kid is annoying
In my experience, calling the Ghostbed company, they will do their best to void your warranty.
Haven't seen those kind of turn table stereos in years.My dad had one of those back in the early 80s when I was a little kid. This brings back childhood memories.
Mood is better because it's free - I mean tidal...
Looking at the corner damage on the SD1000 I think you may have my old deck I bought new. It was left at Ft Sill, Oklahoma.
Cool! Think I bought this on eBay in 2019... What caused the damage?
Back in the days of these phones you could listen to your neighbors convos...who would need a fancy TV when you could hear Pearl and Margaret telling all the gossip from church to the town social 😅
In my opinion Volumio is way to much into making you buy into their subscription. I really dislike being constantly forced / reminded to try features that are "sorry subscription only" - ok fine then don't show me that shit to begin with. The UI is way less streamlined then Moode - there's a third contenter to the piCorePlayer (and max2audio) - both being based on LMS should be warned about: LMS has been officially discontinued. IF you want to have a working setup in a few months down don't use any of them (I mean no piCorePlayer and no max2audio). Especially when it comes to Online-Radio ... TLDR: I can only recommend Moode for a "smooth" experience that just works ... despite its downsides / limitations.
neat
What about the Advent 201?
Don't have one of those, but Advent 200/201 would be an interesting deck to own, first Dolby in a cassette deck and a single VU meter that can switched to left, right or both.
@@ACBMemphis I had one and made lots of tapes on it and loved the sound. I later got more expensive Teac and Akai, but nothing sounded like the Advent, as transparent as vinyl to my ears. You had to hold the lever manually to rewind or FF. The Advent was actually a mod of a Wollensack.
Than you for the help!
Hello. Oh yes, at 9:23 the Yamaha K960. I bought one of these in the early 1980's I loved everything about it. It lasted me 35 years and it sounded great throughout.
I just bought it, how we can see previous video on dashcam instead of put sd card into laptop? Thanks
Mine did the same thing. I just bought a new exterior light for $44 CAD where I can swap the LED bulb vs having the LEDs built right in. Never again. I do have some other exterior LED bulbs that either come on by darkness or motion and so I can easily swap these bulbs out.
I am a proud owner of the "Pioneer CT-656 Mark II Cassette Deck"!!! It has "DOLBY HX PRO", Auto Tape Selection etc., and can play all types of cassettes. My old Weightlifting Trainer gave me this Incredible Unit as a present, may he will be plessed forever!!!
Are these for sale?
No, but will probably post a video if I decide to sell in the future.
promo for Nights in white satin by the moody blues, i love that group and the Beatles too got that movie on dvd sweet very great picture it is hilarious in several part and lots of great songs a pure joy to watch great video m8's id love to find these for myself too, it is a treasure
actually Casey Kasem did the voice of Shaggy on the cartoon Scooby Doo and go-go boots was the big thing in the 60's the top gals in fashion had them famous girls like Nancy Sinatra had them oh i loved watching tons of that stuff with my family girl robots in the movie Dr. Goldfoot and the bikini machine and the girl bombs they wore go-go boots loved the scooby doo cartoon a lot too
Yes correct on Shaggy, that was a mistake, and thanks for the comments!

Thanks for this, sir!
You're welcome & thanks for watching!

UHHH....too many moving moving parts, means many things can go wrong with it! I like my decks SIMPLE, direct drive, sendust alloy heads, SOTA and I'm 😎!
These metal midget radios were made by Arvin, in this case for Sears/Silvertone
Yes, and "Arvin" was written on one of the tubes... Thanks for the comment!
Wow I really like the extended play version of this song, thanks for sharing. I loved this movie back in '81.
Thanks for the comment!
My Led lights just hanging down . Looks like card board in layers . Does the Alum disk take the place of it you you know ?
That sounds like it might be a different model, this light just had one aluminum disk.
e
@@ACBMemphis Model is Altair AL-1250 Heat from sun must have dried cardboard up. Be nice get a disk . Thank you getting back to me.
There doesn't appear to be any IF stages in this budget receiver. This probably accounts for the less than optimal sensitivity.
Slow motor can be capacitor going bad. Heat can be indicator.

New subscriber - this looks ideal for what I'm looking for. I want to live stream my garden on my youtube channel. Problem is I have no electric in the garden so next I need to work out how to do that. Thanks for the camera information.
Thank you for the comment and subscribing! This is a power over Ethernet camera, so depending on the distance and type of cable you might be able to use a shovel to lift the soil and then tuck the cable under. (I did this with speaker cable and it lasted years, but have not personally tried Ethernet outdoors yet).
bonjour mon amie cest une superbe video, j aime beaucoup felicitation et un grand bravo merci pour ce tres beau partage tres bonne semaine et a tres bientot like pose a /3
Another great video guys. Does anyone make new tubes, or can you only use old "new" ones or scavenged parts?
Thanks, and great to hear from you! That's a good question. I once met the owner of a company here in Memphis called "Tube Depot" that sells them, but I have no idea... I bet that much like audio cassettes, there are probably a handful companies still cranking them out.. (After all, we have to keep those air traffic control computers running!)
I'm a college student on a budget and made the mistake of buying the WF-4833 (AKA WTF was I thinking?) My Dad told me he's always had great success with Epson. I had this for the first semester and then ordered after market ink on Amazon. It then gave me an error message saying 'Epson ink not recognized', called Epson and couldn't even understand their tech support lady who didn't understand a word I was saying as she tried to have me clean the print heads! Bad experience all the way around and never did get the printer fixed and ended up tossing it in the dumpster....my advice is always get a laser printer from now on! Great video by the way!
I think that's good advice if you need something that just works for a long time laser is the way to go - thanks for the comment!
Great video, quick overview of each deck, not wasting time. Wondering if the Blaupunkt isn't a reworked Japanese unit and Sanyo made very good quality home products with fair pricing.
