Submitted on August 15th, 2009 by jlewis001I have the same problem. It used to sound fine, but now the sound is tinny and the stylus doesn't track very well.
Is this player any good?
Submitted on April 7th, 2009 by behoorianI happened across one in my parents basement a while ago, I've been cleaning it up and I've found a belt for it, is it worth the time? Everything on it is stock, no replacements and it's just been sitting collecting dust for at least 20 years (probably more). Insight and comments appreciated, PM me if you have info.
