    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...

    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.

    Replacement antennas for JVC RC-70 and M-90

    Hey all. just wanted to chime in here as I’m going through this right now with the m70 I picked up with broken antennas. I just got the Russell FS 12h antennas today and they are unfortunately a bit too long and would impede the handle from going up/down. I honestly should have measured first...

    M70 Speaker Grills and Rings

    Hi All, After looking for almost a decade, I just purchased a fully working (yes even the cassette player) JVC RC-M70 and I love it. I had one in the 80's but after abusing it, I had to let it go. This one works and sounds great. My only issue is that one of the grills is slightly dented and...

    Sharp GF speaker options 16cm

    I used 2 OHM BOSE Car Woofers for the outside, 2 BOSE 2 OHM subwoofers for the Super-woofers & JVC M70 tweeters for the horns. Sound is great & coaxes out the max 45 Watts from the Hitachi IC's(11.25W x 4), same as the C-100/Clairtone 7980's. Quite balanced & has that warm bass you want...

    ...streaming data or playing mp3 the entire time. Its great aside from that. Being water resistant is awesome. It sounds great and loud. The little M70, I would spend more time worrying about sand getting in the volume control then enjoying my vacation.:'-( But I have a parts M70 box that...

    Some boxes work that way, the M70 might be one of them. I have an Aiwa coming today and a Panasonic tomorrow. I keep thinking "just one more", it's a terrible sickness.

    I did just that, thank you. It actually had popped off after I adjusted up to notch 4. I now have it back to 1st position and all is well.

    Power switch

    I'll chime in on the cracked plastic spring retainer. I had an M70 and an M71 and both were cracked and loose. Take it off, clean the shaft and the plastic retainer really well. Put a drop of super glue (I'm partial to plain old Krazy Glue) on the shaft and push the retainer back on until it's...

    this is all great info. I won’t try to bend anything atm. Thanks for finding my switch is broken. I was trying to learn how The thing works before I try anything. When the middle leaf is pushed down the top one get the upward curve you described. I will concentrate on fixing or replacing the...

    That sounds very plausible and I will carefully clean those contacts. I don’t think it will fix the tape switch but I’ll try anything atm. thanks so much for hanging in there with me.

    Power switch

    For what it's worth I think you have a simple voltage drop across the contacts. I fixed an M70 by cleaning the contacts, this restored the music search function which I think is the problem. All you need to do is cut a piece of fine grade sand paper 5cm x 5mm and fold in half lengthways so you...

    Power switch

    About 20 years ago, I messed with the power switch on an M70, which is similar to the deck switch. It wasn't working right and I tried to "re-curve" that middle leaf. All I know is it sprung apart, bits were flying and the switch became trashed. It's a lesson I learned the hard way, and which...
