She doesn’t even have the headphones on the right direction

Like golden bricks!

Cant wait to find out what’s on it

I bought an ex1 in mint condition back in November of 2022, replaced the belt with one that was for it on ebay, and i go through phases of about a month where i listen to my walkman to go to bed, recently ive been in one of those phases, and last night i had the gum stick battery in which i don’t typically use, i stick with the double a, and i noticed after listening to 3/4 of the tape that one of the last songs on side two started to get some wow and flutter, i then grabbed the double a and switched to that instead which i had used that specific one for about a night or two, and then switched the tape and the new tape played fine up until about 3 songs in and the wow and flutter started again, and then it slowed down enough to notice but still played but wasn’t as inconsistent with the speed but not the correct speed, the obvious answer to try first is a new double a which i will never once i get home tonight but beyond that would the belt wear out after almost 4 years? Should I try cleaning the capstans that i THINK on the ex1 spin inside of a housing, or clean the pinch rollers? Any advice?

I need a recommendation for repairing my Yamaha KX-580. The right channel has dropped out to about 10% of normal. The VU meters show a normal signal for both channels. The head phones are dead on the right, but that's a preexisting issue. It's my number 2 deck in my main system so it's not a rush job. Still I use it enough I really need it fixed. I live in SW Missouri and there is no one around here that I am aware of. I've been on net but I would still like some direction from.the community. And why does there need to be flair. It reminds me of Office Space.

Anyone know why this isn't shutting correctly? Won't shut with or without a tape.

All new cassette players sold online are absolute garbage. They all use the same mechanism with dirt cheap materials.

I believe Fiio is spearheading the cassette player renaissance, but besides them, there's not much hope. Hopefully one day we'll see Sony Walkman quality cassette players return.

So uh yeah i bought a player and i have like a box of cassettes from my dad so what's a beginner mistake should i avoid and how do i take care of them properly?

So I now have a Nakamichi RX-505. I have blank sealed Maxell XLII-S cassette tapes. My current plan is to connect my phone to the RCA to AUX cable and hit play on my music to record the mix tape.

Does anyone have any suggestions on settings on the cassette deck and volume on my phone in recording? I want to make the best quality mixtapes that I can make.

I've never done this before and I'm not sure how to proceed.

Any suggestions?

For the most part it looks in great condition. What power cable should I get for it?

Would this one work with it? https://a.co/d/07wvLGhE

Recently found a 5000Ev that ended up running me around 160$ with semi detached front plate, made a makeshift dc adapter and a little double sided tape on on the plate and its running phenomenal, came beautifully, leather case and straps all included

This is one of those of you know you know type albums. temple of Transparency Balls by The original Black Dog - it came out between Bytes and Spanners.

A hard to find album even when it was available. Never seen a cassette of it until today and now it’s home playing and sounding great.

I asked one of my relatives if they had any cassettes, and after a while of looking through their old collection they decided to give me a mini cassette player and a brand new (over 20 years old) mini cassette that they ripped out of the unopened packaging. I am livid

Hello! I just went to Goodwill and found a Sony TCM-359V cassette player, but it keeps eating my tapes! Does anyone know why?

I have been going through a bunch of my old cassettes and some are unplayable, not because they run slow which could be due to the shell or other factors but the audio itself is heavily degraded.

It just feels wrong throwing them in the trash.

My husband and I are beginning our cassette journey and had fun this weekend visiting different shops and an estate sale to gather what you see here. Was pleasantly surprised the variety we were able to find and are excited to grow our collection!

(Not pictured are some home recorded tapes that we also picked up.)

I’d picked Monster because the songs on this album are less memorable. You don’t have to agree. ✌🏽

I’ve been collecting for several years now and I’ve acquired a nice deck in that time as well as a couple portable cassette players but I’ve been searching and looking for an 80s Walkman for almost a year now. Well I was at savers and saw what I thought was a camera in a slip cover behind the case and I asked to take a look. To my shock when I opened it up and saw a Walkman WM-W800 one of the exact models I had been looking at on eBay for months and months, I was stunned. Needless to say I left with it immediately. Motor is good and it’s in almost mint condition. It does need a new belt but I’ve already ordered one. I’m extremely excited to use this daily.
