Hi guys, Been a while since I wrote something here in S2G. I am looking for someone who is able to repair/restore my lowly Walkman WM-EX36. I just don't want to let my clumsiness to break this thing. I do have a copy of the service manual if anyone wants one, and it's easily obtainable from a Google search too. The W/F is terrible, though everything else looks nice, until you get inside. You can hear the mechanism suffering from something I am yet to find out. I already broke a WM-SXF30 (for parts now!). I overdone its motherboard and now I can no longer fix the phones out ever again. Can any one tell me how to get started? Thanks!
There are some good tips for W&F on this forum. I don’t have a link but somebody might. Just do a search. I can recommend making sure the pinch roller is very clean and the capstan might need its abrasive surface restoring which you can do chemically or first try roughing with a small piece of sandpaper.
