Everything except Panasonic RX-DT95 (cleaned, awaiting new fabric woofer surrounds and tape door motor gear: both obtained), Toshiba RT-S90 (rough cosmetics, need to go back and figure out connection points for IF sweep to fix no-stereo issue, recapped most of tuner, amp, and preamp board, needs belts and epoxy some broken plastic bits within deck) and JVC PC-X300 (Cleaned, replaced lamps,needs torsion spring for pause button). Almost all mine need belts. The Aiwa Strasser had lamps replaced, CD player laser calibrated, but has intermittent short in left audio output. The black Panasonic RX-DT9 has a cracked display window courtesy of my ham-handed attempt to free and clean the crevices (rubbing alcohol is plastic's enemy). Hitachi TRK-9150 is a joy, and my favorite at the moment. Clean, strong amps, a little forward sounding, but great well balanced sound, and fast enough reactions for modern electronic music. The JVC RC-838JW had volume sliders reassembled and sounds okay. I missed the one I had in the late 90s (paid $10 at a garage sale at that time. This one was a multiple of that price,lol). The JVC RC-M70 had both tone sliders reassembled (dang failed feeler adhesive), and new antennas jury-rigged to the crumbling plastic mounting sleeves inside. It's a survivor, but it's the loudest of all I have, and talk about FM selectivity with the JVCs. Some of my audio receivers can't hang with these guys! The Pink DT-9 was painted by previous owner, and tweeters replaced with Diatones. I think they knew what they were doing as they added cap and resistor, as well as printing clear labels for all the buttons, placed over the paint. The Goldstar TSR-800 sounds better than the M70 (probably the ebigger woofers) over the lower 30% of it's volume. It distorts easily unless I dial the loudness/bass back when I crank it. The AKAI PJ-W17 has been neglected since I obtained it and discovered the batteries violently freed themselves by breaking all retention tabs during transit. Needs passive surrounds. Shame as it's little bro the PJ-35 with replaced passive surrounds sounds really good considering its size. AKAIs of this series are tanks. Both cassette players still work!

BTW, thanks to the site for being here, and contributors I've learned so much from. I'll entertain requests for video comparos, advice, opinions, etc. It's the least I can do. Thanks!
And I've got a Sanyo M9994 coming now. I'll see if it unseats the TRK-9150!
