Hey all. I bought the add-on tape deck for my '99 Civic HB not that long ago and all it does is take tape in, spin a couple of seconds and spit them back out. It looks like it's in OK shape which obviously isn't a great indicator. Did Honda's have a problem with this? Trying to decide if it's something worth fixing or should I just junk it?

Many thanks,

Greg

 

dang...i didnt even know people still use tape decks...

 

i had a problem with my tape deck too.. it broke when i threw it..

 

try cleaning the heads with a tape cleaner

my old vcr did the same thing, then I cleaned it, no porblems since (yay funai)

 

didn't think that would do it....I'll give that a shot, thanks!

Greg

 

If it works on your "tape deck" you can try it on your Beta max!

master-beta!!!! umm sorry just had too...

 

Set down the tape player and walk away slowly, nobody gets hurt.

Give up the ghost man. Welcome to 2k3.

 

I know retro is trendy and all but... damn man.

 

Ditch it and get an 8 track player.

 

heh....you guys are probably right

but replacing all my Alice Cooper and Megadeth cassettes with cd's just doesn't seem right

next thing you know, you'll be telling me mullets aren't coming back and I need to cut my hair too!

I wasnt aware that people still had VCRs either. I ditched those things a long time ago.

because i dont feel like spending a **** load of money for one of those digital recorder things...the vcr works just great for recording things when Im not home

 

unless its got some kind of warranty just junk it..for a little more than the labor to fix it u can get some good buys this weekend at Best Buys

last week i want d to try fixing a stock speaker..they want d $150 +...new pair of Pioneer s 3 ways was only $79 ..so guess what route i went

a few yrs back the volvo s deck start d to mess up..at the time it was a top of the line Blauplunk *sp?..i had it fix d for $160..there are some pretty good buy s out their for CD/MP3 system s for not much more than that

 

quote = Stupid stock tape deck not working; anyone else encounter this?

Yes. But then I stepped into the 90's.

 

Hey... I still got the stock tape deck in my car too.

 

Tape deck? What the hell is that? The oldest thing I heard of was cd's. Hmmm, I guess i'm just ignorant.
