Justyn, can I get back to you about this, I know for a fact that Ben wants to have a period radio sat in the console while having a modern CD player tucked in the glove box. test them both, if one is crap, then thats the one i'll take off your hands.<br>
<br>
Actually, thinking about it, if any club members have a knackered radio that looks the part but doesnt work, i'm sure that would fit nicely as well...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

I tested them and the radio bit works ok on mw and lw but not fm<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . the tape bit plays too fast for a few seconds then spits the tape out!!! maybe a stretched drive belt?<br>

Might the tape problem be the capstan roller?<br>
<br>
IIRC the actual winding head can go round much faster than is needed, it's the capstan roller that keeps the speed constant and correct.<br>
<br>
So if the roller rubber has disintegrated (more than possible given the age) then the tape would travel too quickly, and the radio might think that's a bit wrong and spit it out.<br>
<br>
Not sure, I'm certainly no expert, I just waste far too much time trying to fix worthless junk rather than chuck it away! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Spoke to Ben, apparently he has found one in the miniature black hole he uses as a storeroom.<br>
<br>
Thanks anyway Justyn.
