It will depend on how much thicker I am able to make the gear (clearance wise) in order to give more strength to the teeth. Unfortunately this...
Can you take photos of your broken cam gear? I only have one (museum condition) DD9 so I am not willing to take mine apart unless it needs...
You don't need the SM. Flip the board over and note the values and sizes of the caps you need, then match to my list here:...
Not to my knowledge. The closest electrolytic is ECA-0JM221, 5mm diameter, 12mm height. This is an issue with the WM10/100 based models in...
Sorry I'm late to this as I'm more active on Tapeheads. Sadly the Nichicon UMW series is gone and the only through hole that is 5mm that is left...
OP here. A few things. Firstly, I need to work on updating this list. A lot of these caps are reaching EOL or are already obsolete and no longer...
The is no azimuth adjustment on the 4ZM mechanism. Shiny/glazed pinch rollers are the most common issue for tape skew problems, try replacing...
Generally for SMD electrolytic capacitors in Walkmans, voltage is not really an issue as size is the limiting factor. Any modern cap that will fit...
Worst I've seen is a WM-F15 I found in a flea market for $3. It was dropped in the sea by a previous owner and was very badly corroded. Only the...
Bad solenoid-check resistance out of circuit. Bad play button- check hold switch, Play switch.
If you look at the schematic, Play/Stop is S9 and S10, top right hand side. They are connected to the hold switch S7, which may need replacement....
Use the service manual if available. If not, use a microscope/magnifying glass and trace manually. Bridge any corroded (blackened) traces by...
To clean the old tact switch, disassemble it and polish the contacts with a fibreglass pen, and coat with deoxit.
Converting through hole to SMD (and vice versa) is something I do often. The external battery cap replacement is optional. The tact switch might...
Don't reuse caps from other machines, chances are they are equally as bad. Buy new caps and do it properly. Jump broken traces with thin wire...
