My realistic cd-3300 boombox, impressive for its age. - Page 2

Ive already looked for this boombox and similar models. I can't find any. I did run across one once a couple years back, but that was before the woofer started to rattle. now I can't find them anywhere. If anything do you know how to fix the rattle noise? the woofer still works it just rattles a lot, in sync to the movement of the cone. Got any ideas?

Don't give up the search. Check Ebay once a week for a few years if necessary. Eventually one will come up. I've seen speakers and creations I never knew existed there.

Have Radio Shack pull the info on that discontinued stuff. You might be able to get more info on what parts were used.

You could replace the amplifier section to give you maybe, 15 watts instead of 4.

Check with a speaker reconing shop. Check with a few.

The amplifier is pretty good on this, after i replaced the capacitors it put out some real power for the little watts it is. Its able to push full size speakers. It has a external speaker jack, plus a line in and a line out jack. I will keep looking> I wish they still made boomboxs like they used to. I have tried a few new boombox's. I have even tried the new ones with an actual subwoofer in it and they don't sound as good as this old thing. Thats why I like it so much, its a vintage boombox that rivals 2/3rd's of the newer boombox's. only ones that sound as good or better cost well over a $100, so its not worth it to me. but i'm sure this thing was expensive. it has a cassette deck, a tri-laser cd player, am/fm, line in, line out, and external speaker jacks. Plus it has excellent fm reception.
