    I was thinking about creating a list of walkmans sharing the same internals, ie using
    - similar transport mechanisms,
    - same heads,
    - same audio circuitry, etc.
    That would be useful, when searching for parts.
    here is a page as a starter presenting some walkmans:
    http://www.petervis.com/walkmans/Vintage Walkmans.html
    ... maybe you are aware of some others. Please share them.

    14. Sony WM150, AF-605, WM190, WM-B603,etc.

    Left: WMAF605 (WM-BF605), Right:WM-150 (probably many more models have the same opto-sensor based solution)
    IMG_0613 - Kopie.JPG IMG_0631 - Kopie.JPG

    Left: Disassembled clutch of the above machines, Right: in the center of the clutch broken mini toothwheel.
    This is a common problem of all above machines, and leads to fluctuating tape-speed ev. to complete auto-off all the time.

    15. WM-D3 a semi-professional mobile cassette recorder with Direct Drive mechanism
    common DD problem: broken center gear.
    possible solutions: glue and extra teeth, or complete gear replacement.
