This is an old school boombox CONION C126F from 80's. It has 2 cassette decks and FM/AM radio. The upper cassette deck (deck B) is like a car cassette player set in the center of the box. The 4 way speakers are not separated from the main console that makes this a onebox gigantic ghettoblaster.

The radio worked fine, and both cassette played well. However, the sound of the cassette especially lower one (deck A) wasn't good. Also the LED tape run indicators did not work at all.

Here is what I did for tuningup this boombox.
1) Took it apart and clean all parts
2) Treated all controllers with contact cleaner
3) Cleaned and demagnetized play + record head of the both cassette decks.
4) Replaced all drive belts on the deck B, that include tape counter and tape run indicator LEDs.
5) Adjust the tape speed of the deck B.
6) Add Bluetooth receiver along with groundloop noise eliminator.
7) Add rainbow color LEDs.

About the deck B, the drive belt was still OK, and playing speed was a little bit faster than it's supposed to be. However, there was no speed adjustment screw on the back side of the motor, so I left as it was. With this age and condition, a little faster speed is not a problem than slower speed, that's what I thought.

The Bluetooth signal was accessed to the deck B signal input. The power for the Bluetooth and LED was also taken from Deck B.

After closing the back case, I found another problem during the testing, so I reopen the body and removed particular parts for readjustment again and again. Finally, it became perfect working condition.

By the way, this boombox has an alarm system. It was funny the alarm went off and my dog Lucky reacted it from upstairs far away. Indeed the alarm was lauded enough protecting itself.

Enjoy!!


Special thanks to the Boombox Collector Pedro.
This boombox was presented to Pedro from his wife as a gift. Wow!
