That is great Robb! These sound AMAZING!!!!!
I am hiding my other grails like M90, GF777, C-100, RX5350, Pioneers, and all...
I never expected a unit of this small size to pump raw POWER like this.
The video i posted makes so much justice!

I am struggling to replace belts on the double cassette deck tc-108w of the Sony FH-11W.
I know I can do it but it is not easy at all. The whole unit in in like new condition but the two belts are semi solid. Lucky it is not a stciky mess. It's so tightly packed and very hard to get a splinter inside. Damn
design. Even the main board, front panel, cassette frame, bottom cover, top cover, rear cover, several connectors and 30 screws to replace two belts. 
Help me! I can't find a battery for the radio station memory on the tuner. Is it a button cell hidden inside? Just wondering!
No matter what this unit sound the best! I should admit it!

2. Sony miniature stereo system
For the apartment dweller or the music lover who wants a second stereo system in the bedroom or summer home, Sony has developed the FH-11W hi-fi system that`s about the size of a boombox but provides true hi-fi sound. Seen here smaller than scale, the $599 system includes a dual cassette deck with Dolby B and C, five-band graphic equalizer, a 30-watt-per-channel amplifier, quartz synthesized tuner with presets for five AM and five FM stations, and three-way speakers (not shown). For another $299, an optional CD player fits into the system. Components measure only 13 inches wide and can be attached with a bracket and carrying handle.
Thanks Neko!
After more than 25 screws are removed both double cassette deck assembly lifts upwards from the rest of the unit. Who would have thought of it. Now I know how to change belts on it, but will wait for the belts to come in.
The battery in the tuner for memory was a 3V Sony 2025 that was spot welded to the terminals. I could break off the welding with a small spatula and remove the battery safely without causing any damage to the PCB. I soldered two wires and made a seperate battery holder.
I love the sound quality!

For some reason the memory wipes out the stored stations when power is turned off, say after 3 or 4 hours. What could be the problem?
I replaced teh Sony 2025 with an Energizer 2025. I also made a battery holder with two plastic panels held by plastic screws. Battery pressed against the contact wires is sandwiched between the plastic panels held by the plastic number plate screws.

DJBREEZY, It is an amazing unit!
The sound quality is awesome!
I cleaned all the contacts with Deoxit. The nly problem is sooner or later I got to replac ethe woofer foam surrounds. That is something I need to plan on how to do it.
Any help with replacing the foam surrounds on the APM speakers is greatly appreciated!
I don't want to use the cloth coated with rubber spray approach to make the surround.

It costs $87 plus shipping charges for a piece of foam.
I want to stay away from using foam surrounds.
I might have to resort to making the surround with rubber sprayed on cloth.
Let me see what I can do.

Now I took the challenge to fix the double cassette deck TC108W.
I woke up early to do this work.
Trust me this is not at all an easy deck to work on. I have worked on most complicated reel and cassette decks. Akai GXC-570D is one of the most complicated decks one can work on. I have two of those decks in mint condition.
I took it all apart and now need to measure the belt size and buy them before I can put it all back together.

I measured the belt size by doing some math and confirmed it by another old belt I saved.
It is 7.0" SBF. Just ordered 2 of them them from studioelectronics.
I forgot to order the small counter belt.
It is the tiniest belt i've ever seen in my whole life.

Hi, The pinch roller is a part that so hard to find on this model and one guy is selling it for $75. I was lucky to get one from a donor Akai. The work on the GXC570 is very time consuming.
Great work on making those surrounds for the APM speakers.
That is so smart!
I was wondering why you used the plastic glue instead of using rubber glue for the speakers. Is there any specific reason for that?
I need to really spend some time to make it look perfect.
I am waiting to start working on it.
