Dad was getting ready to throw this baby in the bin so I grabbed it (the tape player, not the baby). I also got about a dozen tapes and a set of matching auxiliary speakers. Should be good for a bit of fun, but unfortunately he had terrible taste in music.
I gave it a quick test run and it kind of works. Pots are very scratchy and it's running quite fast, but that may be user error. Any suggestions what might be causing the speed problem?
I'm tipping it was probably a budget unit in it's day, so I probably won't spend much/anything on repairing, but would be happy to attempted a simple DIY fix.
