 Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2015 2:02 pm Post subject: The woes of a player shipped... |
 |
|
player came today... i put 2 belts in it and a new stylus, and it doesnt work, i tried a few different things and it wont read the disc needless to say im pretty frustrated with this shipping debacle...
the player all but fell out of the box when i picked it up off my porch
this is exactly how it was left in my porch
you can see it was tossed around because it was very poorly packed
some how the shipping lock screw that holds the stylus carrier was partially in place so theres that...
load belt was bad
some of the goopers

here is the youtube video.
to top it off the remote end broke off in the player... awesome...

That is too bad about your player.
Is the player a Sears 934.54780150 model? If so, I have one that works the last I tried it. The only problem with my player is that someone placed something heavy on the top in the past which slightly bent it down in the front. When you insert a CED, its label scrapes on the top of the entry slot. I have no need for my player and would gladly send it to you after I do a check of its functionality. All you would have to pay me is the cost of packing and shipping.
Of course, the above is predicated that your player has a good top. Can you insert a CED with no difficulty or scraping?
Let me know

this is the 80150 model and the cover is bent but it doesnt scrape the caddy at all, but i only bought the player because i had the remote for it, but now i found out the remote is junk too so, im not sure what to do yet... the remote can be fixed but it will just look like hell...

Not too sweat. I have an Hitachi remote that I could let you have for $20. I know it is not a Sears remote; but, it will work with this Sears model as I have tested it with my own 150 player (the one I bought in 1983).
Think it over and post your decision on this thread.

well in that case, i just may take you up on the offer! let me talk to my old lady about it  she was the one that wanted a player with the wired remote. how much do you think that shipping would be to hartford?
ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS POST;
i do not blame the person i got this from at all, let me be clear that this machine was dropped off at a business that specifically packs and ships things, and we were assured that it would be shipped appropriately, but apparently that was not the case, so in no way is this the fault of the member who i got this player from, he wanted it to get here in one piece more than anything, and i know he is bummed about it, but life goes on, and we both learned a lesson in this

Okay. I will check out my 150 player to make sure it is still working today. Just be sure you know, the player will not have a stylus. I will post my test results tomorrow.
If you could, please see if you can get a weight on your player. I do not have a working bath scales here so I cannot get the player's weight. If you get the weight, I can find out the shipping cost.
Your experience with the player you received worries me. I was going to have the 150 player packed up for shipping by a local office supply store and have it shipped by Fedex or UPS. Maybe I will have to pack it myself in order to feel confident that it will reach you with no incidental damages.

thats quite alrite i have some stylus i can use for this one, the player weighs 20 lbs ( or a small child ) this player that i received did come all the way from california, you are a heck of a lot closer, basically this is the only time this happened to me and i have had like 10 players come in the mail thru the years...

At least you've never had a vintage cassette deck nested in butcher paper or a turntable packed with newspaper...the first was a shipper's packing store and the second was I think free...at least the turntable wasn't broken any more than it already had been. Although the packing place started with a completely working cassette deck and it had no EXTERNAL damage, much less internal, a belt fell of or something in the drive broke and it's a chore to get in there and find out.
I had a receiver packed with carpet pad once, but it worked.

usually i pack something with an apology because usually they are hard to get into, or they are filled with packing stuff like peanuts or bubble wrap, i have a huge roll of plastic wrap i use as well to keep water out or... whatever outside elements...

Sorry to disappoint you; but, the 150 player I have is not functioning correctly. When I insert a CED, the turntable spins up; but, it does not raise up to the CED. The loading belt looks okay. I have been able to get it to raise the disc only a few times. When it does, the stylus starts to move over and then stalls after maybe one inch of travel. At this position, the stylus motor spins; but, the belt slips.
If you are still interested, you can have the player for parts or possible repair. My offer for the Hitachi wired remote is still $20.
Let me know.
