This is my first boombox and also my first attempt at uploading a video. There's a few things wrong with my 525, on/off button doesn't work, tape decks don't work, bass doesn't work, aerial missing etc. But it also keeps making a noise like a tape reaching the end of the reel and stopping, which is stopping me from enjoying the radio. Also a little metal rod inside tape deck two is constantly spinning. Does anyone know what's going on inside it?

Deck will be stuck in play due to perished belts I guess. Dodgy sound will likely just need a bit of contact cleaning. If you check for basic servicing instructions in here it's been covered lots over the years :-)

Cheers. I'm not able to get stuck into it yet. Got to get some other stuff done first
