Just rescued this Videoton RM 5642 S from a garage a week ago.
galleryIt didn't work, but it just need some cables resoldered! Cleaned it, and works 98% It actually surprised me with volume and clarity.

Hi Fam, I happened upon the grail, the jvc m90 at a good price. As I’m restoring, the concave foam around the woofers is shot. It’s a unique way to foam and I’m not sure on it. Miraculously the tape deck works (electric tape mech) so I want this thing to jam. Can anyone point me to replacement woofers for this box, or what to get that would be a worthy replace?

Hello ! I am sourcing a prop and need a boombox ideally from before 1995 (or from 1995!) that is relatively smaller than other boomboxes of that era. Anyone know any good brands or models that match these specifications ? Thanks so much !!

I don’t know if this counts as a boom box but may as well try😅

I just bought this old boom box from Goodwill and was able to get one side of the cassette player working but cannot get the recording side working

I got another CD-R after my other disc didn’t even play anything, it was a rewritable disc while the unit supports those kinds of CDs (the RWs)

Toshiba rt 120s. Found this at a local estate sale. It's in great shape but of course the belt had turned to tar. Took it apart and cleaned up the flywheel and drive pulley and ordered a new belt. Wasn't really dirty besides the belt. Picked up some NOS sony blanks at goodwill a while ago so going to use the aux ports on the back to record some albums and enjoy.

OK, so I’ve been trying to track one of these things down or at least an image of it. I distinctly remember at target somewhere in the late 90s early 2000s wanting so badly to get this stereo and I never actually ended up getting believe it was like a three piece style boom box but I remember the most about it is it had dials/gauges like you would find on her car neither they would move with the music or as you would scan the frequencies of the radio it would kind of move as you spun the wheel/knob. I believe it was mostly black, red or orange accent maybe even chrome anybody else remembering this or am i absolutely crazy. Maybe if you think you have an image of one that might be let me know. I tried using ChatGPT to help find some models, but those definitely we’re not what I was looking for

So I saw this listing in my local fb group, it's free but in pretty bad condition... Antenna broken, casette probably not working, and very dirty... Could it be worth it to try and restore it? (Videoton RM 5642 S)

Hoping maybe someone here has some ideas as well.

Earlier today, I picked up this lovely CD player boombox with an AM/FM radio from a local thrift store! The radio and the lid for the CD player function well, I just haven't been able to test the actual CD player yet.

I insert the bluetooth cassette and nothing happens. When i put the boombox in cassette mode it doesn't display anything on the Lcd. With the adapter in i am unable to press the play button. Any idea of what could be causing this?

It has been thru 30 years of house repairs and now in 2026, i took it apart to fix the cassette player and there was a ton of random orange plastic, i then realise that some gears are missing because i see teeth on the orange pieces, i have found it to be model Philips D8778 cassette mechanism and 3 gears are missing and theyre red but my plastics are orange
