  3. I just described a one-piece integrated bookshelf stereo system - the type from the 1980s and 1990s that were everywhere - as "boombox in a suit", and I have to say I'm unreasonably pleased with that turn of phrase.

  5. Today was this month's Repair Cafe in my city. I think it also marks a full year I've been volunteering at them. I enjoy it a lot.

    After last months good results - everything brought to me successfully fixed *except* one item - I got exactly the same result today. A bunch of successes, and one failure. And it's a weird and annoying coincidence - they are basically the same thing, #Sony all-in-one bookshelf #stereo systems. You know the type, they're on the order of a cubic foot and look like a small stack of stereo equipment units, but it's just a cosmetic look. Inside, the tuner, preamp, amp, CD player / changer, tape deck are all one thing. #Boombox in a suit, basically.

    Both times, I figured out what was wrong - but I couldn't get to the bits I needed to actually fix them. I got stumped trying to take the front #fascia off the chassis. There's usually a few screws to take the back and/or top off, and then some #clips holding the front fascia to the (usually) one-piece sheet metal sides and bottom. Taking a #spudger to them releases all along the top and sides, but at the bottom of the fascia, it doesn't release - there's something weird about the clips I can't see, and I don't see any #screws responsible, inside or out. I don't want to force it more than I have because it will break.

    Any Sony-heads out there know the secret with these things? They're from the 80s and 90s, at least the ones brought into me.

  9. Brussels was a highlight too last night! #alwaysberiding 🪩🪩🪩 ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #boombox 🇪🇺

  10. Tried the TV setting and it works. But no analogue signals in the air anymore, so can't test. But now that I turned on the #crt I am afraid of touching shit on the inside :) #boombox #retrorepair

  11. So there is a little clip in the 220V socket and I could not get any cable in. When trying DC the wire would get hot and start to melt. I tried to break off the clip and then it moved! Turns out it is a switch (but super gunky), so when you insert power it probably disconnects DC. #boombox

  12. Got it working again! 10 Quid we'll spent! There was 1 loose wire inside and the 220V socket was stuck (yes, stuck. will explain later). All wires seem brittle and wimpy, will need to replace them. Volume knob need some attention as sound drops outs, one of the speakers too. #boombox #retrorepair

    Cette boombox Sharp GF-5757H a de l'hallure, mais elle a passé beaucoup de temps dans un garage, et a besoin d'amour !

  19. 🔋 Adaptateur de piles bien pratique !

    Très pratiques quand on restaure et utilise de vieux appareils qui utilisaient d'énormes piles très lourdes et devenues assez chères...

  21. 🔈 Haut parleurs à l'ancienne mais encore bons !

    J'avoue que je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ces enceintes vintages à fentes de bois sonnent aussi bien. Souvent, ça vieillit très mal, les haut parleurs !

  23. Behold the boombox I owned in the mid 1980s -- the physical manifestation of my twin obsessions with Video Music Box (local access NYC TV show that specialized in early hip-hop) and Mr. Magic's Rap Attack on WBLS. Blank tapes were holy objects back then, and I worshipped at this thing like an altar.

    Our kids never play their music out loud either. I guess I should be grateful. But it feels like they're missing out on something elemental to adolescence. 🎧
