I am looking for someone fairly local to NN10 to repair a Sanyo Briefcase record player (as shown in stock photo).
I would like it repaired NOT replaced as some other company decided to do even after I advised how sentimental this item was to me.
Needs a new belt for tape player even though the tape works. Needs a needle for record player or whatever it is called and a general service I would say.
Thanks all.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52404763","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Wiso1970"},"datePublished":"2024-03-17T18:11:32.000Z","text":"Did you check local repair cafes that fix stuff for a donation?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52405741","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"sustar"},"datePublished":"2024-03-17T21:27:39.000Z","text":"This is NN8 area so maybe worth a try?
In essence same as what has suggested "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52406108","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"aLV426"},"datePublished":"2024-03-17T22:49:00.000Z","text":"It's called a stylus - CPC stock equivalent and it is designed to be user replaced. The tape belt is a bit more involved, but can be done with a bit of effort - again CPC stock various sizes. As for the servicing, perhaps a little oil to lubricate the moving parts and a clean of the capstan & read head, again designed to be an end user task. A cotton bud dipped in isopropyl alcohol should suffice. I regret giving mine away (even though the plastic bacame quite brittle), although I still have the microphones!"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52406703","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Imogenthat"},"datePublished":"2024-03-18T05:21:39.000Z","text":"Have you tried Stuart audio on Wellingborough road in Rushden, if they can't fix it, they might know someone who can?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52417825","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"louiselouise"},"datePublished":"2024-03-19T18:00:59.000Z","text":"I knew I'd seen a video about this somewhere. Techmoan has a video about a similar Sanyo Suitcase stereo, may be worth a watch. Assuming you haven't seen it already (from March 2023):
