Philips DCC-300 - Makes Noise, Nothing Works

Fresh off the boat from the Netherlands comes the absolute cheapest digital compact cassette deck I could find at the time. Costing me $160 Canadian plus shipping, this thing showed up in extremely bad packaging with NOTHING working.

Folks, the shipping damaged Technics RS-B755 had BETTER packaging than this one. Original complaint was "cassette blocked" in display, but as we will quickly find out it has MANY more problems than that.

Belts required:
300mm IC x 4mm capstan
250mm IC x 1mm loading tray
