What did you last repair??
Bambo:
I last repaired one of my 8 track tapes :)
I got volume 2 of "1950s rock and roll collection" and the pad was no good so I went out to find a good pad...... I found one and last night I went about fixing it....
When I opened the cartridge the tape came off the spool a little and I thought I lost the tape. But I managed to get it wound back on the spool and into the cartridge and she plays fine :)
Now to get volume 3 of this amazing set.... Its a 4 record set,3 8 track set (Im not sure how many cassettes or CDs in the set)
Bambo:
The other day I got a VHS tape in the mail I ordered (AND JUSTICE FOR ALL - 1979)
I Think the person rewound it with one of those crappy radioshack things WHICH ARE HORRIBLE.. (They slam the tape @ full speed when it gets to the start) - YA DONT EVER USE THAT GARBAGE!!!
The tape was off the take up spool so I opened the cartridge and re-attached the clear lead tape to the spool using a couple pieces of tape..... I had to put it in a different shell as the parts in the back (1 of them) came off and it wouldnt play at all........
I took an empty one and put both spools into it.... Its not working correctly for some reason (the things in back of the spools) but thankfully its working...
This is the first 1981 columbia release of this movie and its the BEST and i didnt wanna lose it,been looking for it for along time!!!

My iPhone unfortunately.
Bambo:
I trust its still working ok :)
I last repaired a cassette I got the other day.... It wouldnt play well,it sounded sluggish like it had gotton wet....Well first look @ the window in the cassette showed that stupid plastic sheet on both sides so I figured this was the reason......
I opened the cassette which was popped together (I easily opened it with a knife wedged in the front)
THERE WERE NO ROLLERS IN IT!!!!! -- What kind of moron put this together?? -- NO WONDER IT DIDNT PLAY WELL!!!!!!!!! (It is a 1981 album)
I just happend to have a new cassette (BLANK) that has screws so I opened it and put the tape into the new cassette and she plays fine... (DEF LEPPARD - HIGH N DRY)
Well.... The first time I played it when it got to the last song on side 1 (Bringing on the hardbreak) it was a bit sluggish and IM NOT SURE WHY.... When it played side 2 though it was fine...... On second play it was fine on both sides :) (Must have been something stuck near the end of the tape that fell out)
Boy.... NO ROLLERS!!!!!!! -- How stupid and unresponsible to make something like this AND LET IT OUT!!!!!! (Like they didnt care that it wouldnt work well)
