I have never auditioned the Telefunken. But I have heard of it. That German engineering appeal impresses many people. I don't buy into that idea as much. I have to hear the unit and see how it performs, for myself. A brand name just isn't enough.
As I remember, the big boomboxes began to...
...everyone's itch.
For indoor enjoyment, I like the M90 and my RX-7000. For outdoor jamming, I like the C100. For portability & power, I like the M70.
My opinion on boomboxes, are that you generally can't go wrong with a JVC or Matsushita product. They have the best bang for the buck and tend...
I’ve just remanufactured the FF and Rewind Clutch plate/cap for my JVC KD-21 deck, and it appears to be the same part used in the RC-M70.
I’m looking for someone who can test my 3D-printed part on their RC-M70. Please DM me if you're interested.
I’ll send it for free, and you’ll just need to...
Happy to know you figured out the problem!
Good job!
Never give up!
After 5 years, one fine day I found the problem with a JVC M70 record button not engaging (won't go down).
I spend lots of time in the past, got so frustrated and finally got an M70 donor deck from our member Eric (caution) to...
...shouldn't cause any issues normally. Some glue turns conductive on cassette decks but I haven't read about any issues with conductive glue on the M70.
This is the video I was referring to, over 2 hours long:
here's another video and you can see that resin is there on the Victor model at 9:36
...is published as 30w (15+15) for DC / EAIJ. Not sure if this is another difference in convention. There is a similar difference between the global m70 and the JDM one: the JDM m70 is published at 20w EAIJ /DC while the global one is 30w. Is this about testing on batteries vs AC power? If the...
I really appreciate this advice, I think I might just settle for the AC route because I found a used Nisso stepdown like you mentioned for super cheap, but this is definitely useful and I might end up getting one of those Toshiba laptop chargers you mentioned just for the sake of making...
...trail; I learned from it when doing my Panasonic mod. The bigger Toshiba charger is rated at 15v6amp or 90 watts. This is more than enough for a m70 or m90. The 5amp one is enough too. I have measured the output: it is a stable 15.35v; they have thick cables; fuse; shielding; there is no FM...
I am powering a Victor m70 with a15v 5amp or 6 amp Toshiba laptop adapter. You could try a generic one but these Toshiba chargers are the best quality. The jack is a perfect fit for m70 and if you get a Victor m90 too. This Victor jack is hard to find in generic adapters but the Toshiba laptops...
I read through this older forum pertaining to powering the M70, a lot of useful information there.

This would mean using either a 12v AD to DC wall wart adapter OR a step-down to 100v through AC-in should work for...
...and I'm in the US, where our grid is based on 120v. This Japanese model also lacks a voltage selector usually found on the side of the other M70's from other regions. Now keeping in mind I'm not very well versed in electric power supply/load etc which is why I'm reaching out to you more...
Second post on this site, today I put in ten d-cell batteries (which seems like insanity to me) into my Victor RC M70 to finally try it out, but it makes loud obnoxious popping and cracking sounds when anything is even gently adjusted. Power indicator and dial lamps work fine otherwise. I really...
...the VU meters swing to the same level on these listening tests. The volume on both boxes set at 4.
I think there is a similar difference in the M70 boxes. The 'overseas' models come in two different power ratings by W at the back. The Japanese domestic version is of the lower rated one.
In...
Hey guys, new to this forum site, just purchased a Japanese JVC RC-M70 as the title implies, but it is missing the front fascia cover over the cassette door, any idea where I can find a replacement? I looked on eBay to no avail. Any recommendations are appreciated.
They trailed this in Germany earlier in the year and now it's here so maybe.
I think it's in response to a service which is popular in Europe called Vinted, which now allows the sale of electronics, think they were eating ebays lunch as the seller is charged no service fees.
No final sales fees? I'll have to see if ebay US is considering that.
I was watching a JVC M70 on ebay last week, and it sold for only $260 USD. I was quite shocked.
...out on two pins (like youre unplugging a smartphone from the stereo, but the stereo isn't switched off- bzzzzzzztztztzzzzzztztztt) your hitachi is able to direct line in.
The same as the JVC M70 L (european- Din, but no line) and JVC M70 JW (USA and other countries- real RCA jack with line in)
I've repaired slider boards on the JVC RC-M70 and the RC-M838 for many members over the past decades with good results. Usually folks send just the slider board to me which on the M70 is fairly easy to remove, but on the 838, it's removal is rather delicate and easy to damage both the slider...
An m70 has way more inputs on the side. It doesn't look deep enough to be a tv boom box, then again never had a tv boombox. The two labels on the back might be a clue. Don't see that often
