    JVC-M70 cassette issue

    Cleaning the leaf switch should do the job. I don't think you have to remove the deck section but have to open the boombox, remove the front sections with speakers and then chassis out. JVC RC-M70 Boombox Complete Overhaul Before & After - YouTube The above link will be helpful to open the M70.

    JVC-M70 cassette issue

    I bought my JVC-M70 boombox back in 2011. It was $400. Worked perfectly now in 2023. When I push play nothing happens I have to push play about 12 to 15 times. Then it will play. Sometimes when I flip over the tape and push play . It will play other times I have to push the play button about a...

    ...the perfect boombox test tool, all in one tester. Ok, it's not exactly, cheap but for 1/4 the cost of an M90, and less than the cost of a decent M70, in my opnion, why collect all the boomboxes and not get the one tool that's going to keep them running in tip top shape? The only downside is...

    What's it worth?

    Hello, JVC M70 is quite a popular one, most popuoalr version being the AUX /RCA one, least popular being the European DIN version. I seldom see the Japan version (with the knobs on the front). From what I can see they usually go for anything between 200 and 500 European dollars in decent and...

    JVC M70 Top panel

    Hi guys, I'm looking for (non-Japanese) top panel for the JVC M70. Mine is in quite bad condition and was thinking about exchanging it. Or maybe someone knows some good way how to "refresh" it?

    Really? I love my M70C & it sounds great! If yours sounded like poo, then the speakers were crapped or the something was wrong.

    Any JVC / Victor RC M90's up for sale lately??

    That m 90 came all the way from Puerto Rico for less than $300 with shipping back with then before the world lost their m************ mind. I remember people making jokes how an M70 wasn't even $150 bucks . Somebody's laughing now.

    Rc-M70 Battery pack mods

    It'll work with real D rechargeables. I wouldn't trust the D packs. They're a big ticket initially. But worth it after only a few uses.

    Rc-M70 Battery pack mods

    Well, I received the 3 AA's to D sized spacers and charged the 30 batteries (rated at 2400mah each), and the M70 wouldn't even turn on. I tried several times to make sure everything was inserted correctly, and still no power. So, I guess for now I will keep an eye on the Duracells that work in...

    Rc-M70 Battery pack mods

    Since the M70 is the only device I have that requires real D sized batteries, I really don't want to invest in D size rechargeables with also needing a separate charger. I found these D size spacers that take 3 AA batteries (rechargeable and/or alkaline). I currently have the D size spacer that...

    Rc-M70 Battery pack mods

    Thanks guys for all your advise. I ended up buying a 14 pack of Duracell's from Costco. When I originally had the M70 in the 80's that was the way to go (but I can't recall how long a set lasted). So, I'm trying a set of these first to see how long they last. I'm mostly going to have it plugged...

    Rc-M70 Battery pack mods

    Has anyone here created, or know of a rechargeable battery pack mod for use in the JVC RC-M70 (or other similarly sized boxes)? I did find a you tube video of someone who had it in his, but he doesn't describe how he did it or where he got it. I tried to contact him, but no response as of yet...

    All went well

    Here ya go Radio Raheem. As promised..Ended up taking one of my M70s. I also took my mini M90 for going on the beach directly. The M70 got a few parents explaining what it was all about to their children while playing at the hotel pool. I didn't make it onto the sandy beach with it, but I did...

    What Boombox Are You Cranking Up Right Now??

    People sleep on these boxes, probably because of the square grills. But personally I think they sound better than the M70.
