I have a Soundesign 4387 stereo boombox the left deck won't turn when you insert a tape and push play.

There could be a few reasons why the left deck on your Soundesign 4387 boombox is not turning when you insert a tape and push play. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

Check to make sure that the left deck is not already playing a cassette. If a cassette is already in the left deck, try pressing the "eject" button to remove it and then reinserting it to see if it will play.
Check to see if the left deck belt is broken or loose. If the belt is broken or loose, it may not be turning the tape deck properly.
Make sure that the cassette is not upside down or inserted incorrectly.
Check the left deck for any visible signs of damage or debris that may be causing the issue.

If none of these troubleshooting steps help, it is possible that there is a more serious issue with the left deck of your boombox that will require more extensive repairs. In this case, it may be best to take the boombox to a professional repair shop to have it checked out.

Left Deck Door Stuck Shut on Cassette Deck

Hi what has happened is when you pressed play the tape head that reads the tape has come up as normal this locks the door as you cant open it when its playing but instead of the tape head releasing and going back down into start possition it has become jammed in the tape itself.
You have two options turn off at mains and give it a gentle bang a couple of times this might free the tape and let the head go back to start possition its upto you how hard you tap it but doing this usually works and will allow you to get the tape out failing this then its going to be a case of stripping it down till you can get access to the tape head and be able to free it from the tape allowing door to open let me know how you get on ok and if you need further assistance

I can't find the manual to my Technics RS-TR272 Stereo Cassette Deck. How do you tape something on one cassette to another?

Place the tape you want to record into the left deck, Then the blank tape into the right deck. Press play on the left deck and record on the right deck.

It may be opposite depending on which side your recording deck is on.

Which ever deck has record, place blank cassette into that one and the cassette you want to copy into the other deck.

Hope this helps and please rate thanks

The cassette mechanism has a large gear that rotates to different positions for the different modes. On time around is a play - stop cycle. It is stuck in one position and won't come around to the stop spot. Need to take the cover off and help it to turn to get the cassette out. Then figure out if something is wrong preventing it from turning or if the wheel driving it is the problem. They are all a little different so this is where your mechanical apptitude comes in.
By the way, you'll figure out right away they don't intend these things to be fixed.
Hope Ya Fix It.
