JVC model RC-838JW - BOOMBOX - Ghetto blaster, for parts/repair

$130.00

For Sale:   Partially working and very collectible vintage Japanese made boombox.

Here is demo video showing working condition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucxrlN-1OwA

The main issue with this is that the left channel does not seem to be working at all. At one point if I played around wih the selector switch I could get some sound out of the left side when in Expand or Biphonic mode but when last checked there is no sound from either side in those modes. When in Mono mode gets good reception on FM, AM, and SW bands. The stereo indicator light will come on.  When the switch is moved to stereo there is almost no sound at all.  When moving the treble and volume sliders the sound sometimes sound will cut out, if you play with the switches sound will come bak.

The cassette deck KIND of works- but almost certainly needs new belts. On one tape when play was pushed it slowly got up to speed and sounded almost OK. FF and RW sometimes work.  Sound quality was decent with tape.

Backlights are working.  Right meter is good. At some point I saw the left meter working so it's good too.

The unit shows some wear and missing most of the screws on the back. Antenna look original and decent shape.

Sold as-is for pars or repair but described honestly and carefully.
