hello,i find this model for 100$,tape is dead.this unit is easy to repair? its too expensive? thanks!!

Some would jump at that price; others would walk away. If you are willing to pay $100, then it is not too expensive.

ok,but this unit is hard to work on it? i restore and repair pinball machine ,but i d ont have experience on boombox...the belt is easy to find? thank you!

Well I got one not so long ago and had heard the deck was difficult to rebelt but I managed and it wasn't too bad. The service manual helped.

However I've still got deck problems not related to the belts so its going to a much more skilled member to sort it for me.

Lovely box tho, feels real quality and looks very classy. They can go for plenty dosh if all working

It's one of the more difficult ones to rebelt. Disassemble it improperly and you might never get it back together again when everything goes boing.

for a hundred its not a bad old price really,however,they are monumentally difficult to work on,so buyer beware.they do have line in so best to live without working tape and run a walkman through the line in instead

But what fun is that using a Walkman through line in?
