I mentioned this in an earlier post but i thought i would put up a new thread on it. I have the stock radio in my 97 and the CD player works great. All speakers work fine and everything. My tape deck, on the other hand, doesn't do so well. It sounds a little fuzzy but it mostly sounds like its playing out of the passenger side speakers. Anything i can do to try and resolve this? Any advice would be great. :help:

What's a tape deck???? :)

Nah, run a head cleaner cassette through it and see if that help's maybe (I don't know if they even make these any more?)
 












Might need to demagnetize the heads. I didn't think anyone still used cassettes anymore. I got rid of mine a long time ago!
 












I think the only tape I've seen floating around the garage yet is a Jimmy Ray cassette.






Also- after further review since it's the first time I've seen the video, I'm not too sure if he's meaner or leaner, but I'm thinkin' he may in fact be an in-betweener. :wtf: :D

The best youtube comment:

If he changed the words & not said his name, it probably wouldn't be a bad song. However, the video sucks. I could do better on a Sunday drunk, and I don't even drink.This is what happens when your mega-rich dad buys you a recording contract for Christmas
Are you feelin' dangerous?
 






Ah, tape converter. I thought maybe you were jammin' to Bob Seger on cassette. Although I can't say anything, I just bought a new records for my record player haha.

Id sell you the old stereo from my 97, but to be honest, I never tested the cassette player prior to taking it out.
 






I wouldn't mind seeing a record player in the dash....Might warp the vinyl on a nice suuny day tho'! Whose got an 8 track? Everybody in the house go whoa..WTF????
 






I have more 8-tracks than cassettes...
 






I wouldn't mind this in one of my cars!

I wouldn't mind that car that it's installed in... :)
 






Wow! They're about as rare as wide mouth frog's!
