I repair and test:

FJ40 and FJ60 OEM radios, carb fan controllers, AC amplifiers, emission computers, wiper modules, etc.

Most early Toyota radios and control modules

RS3000 alarm units used in the 80 series trucks.

Idle solenoid controllers for the VW Westfalia

I stock the common repair parts and usually have selection of refurbished and tested modules on hand.


If you have any other old electronics needing repaired, let's talk.

Emission computer testing. All functions checked. These are not just cleaned/painted.

 

[Engineer8000]

OEM Radios have electrolytic capacitors replaced. I-F and R-F aligned per the factory procedure. Clean/lubricate the mechanical tuning mechanism.

Your "restored" radio could look like this inside

Another fine example of "restored" parts. Very nice paint on the outside, two of the solenoid valves don't work. Beware of restored electrical parts that don't state they have been tested and verified functional.

The correct interlocking connectors for the emission computers available here.

I had never seen this thread. Fantastic work. @Engineer8000! I’ve been really curious about installing toggle switches on the 60 Series emissions computer for switching between automatic control (stock) and manual defeat of some systems, such as the EGR VSV signal. Ever given though to something like that?

I recently sold @ChaserFJ60 a Toyota-branded Fujitsu-Ten cassette deck that’s a bit of a mystery. I had it working up to the point of finding the pinch roller damaged. Couldn’t find an appropriate replacement, but now that it’s in Chase’s hands maybe you could help!

It would be easy enough to install a switch panel between the computer and harness, the plugs are available. It would take three switches to open circuit each of the three VSVs.
Do you know the model number of the cassette player? Is it this one?

This one:

Oh, the Dukes of Hazard orange unit. I have one of those in my truck. 86021-00003

Nice! What we’re they out of originally? @ChaserFJ60 might need pinch roller rubber if you have that.

I got as far as replacing belts and lubricating everything, and certifying that it passes sound.

Several generic size pinch rollers are available, might get lucky with that. I think they were used generically in early 80s cars and trucks. I had one in my 81 mini truck.

I was told it came out of a mini truck, but I’ve seen photos of one in a late 70s Celica too.

For what it’s worth, it fits exactly into the “useless sandwich pocket” of a 60 series dash. The mounting bracket needed a slight tweak if so recall correctly, but otherwise it was a dead on flush fit.
