I have some Blaupundt Tucson car radios, and I've always had problems with
their cassette mechanisms. I'd like to learn how to clean them and figure
out the mechanical problems. The first step is a power setup on my
workbench. I don't have a power supply, but I do have some old computer
power supplies which have 12v+, 12v- outputs (and others). Would they
work
for my purposes?

Is anyone familiar with the Blaupundt cassette players...are they worth
repairing? If they aren't, is there a higher quality cassette mechanism
that could be substituted. I know the answer depends in part on the
problem, and it's been so long I don't remember exactly what it was, so I
have to bench test the radios first. But some general opinions would be
appreciated.

Hello John
Did you get the harnesses I sent you?
I'm not sure if the PC power supply will work or not.
I don't think any other tape mechanisms from other units will fit in yours.
Even other Blaupunkt units may use a different mechanism.
Without knowing the problem it's hard to know the cure...
If the tapes sound garbled, then the tape heads may just need cleaning.
This can be done with a cue tip and alcohol
If the tape is dragging or plays and slows down and speeds back up,
then it could be the belts need replacing.
also check the to make sure there is not any tape broke off inside the unit
