    Hello thank you for clicking on this I am the proud owner of a WM-4 Sony Walkman, however the motor is completely dead and the belts extremely Louse.

    Any links to spares or guides for repairing are gratefully appreciated. Any data on the motor is appreciated also so I can find a non official Replacement.

    Have you opened it up to check for any movement? Is there any LED operation?

    Your in Swansea? If so, then Paul Carrington is your best bet for a UK service.
    http://www.paulcarrington.co.uk/repairs/

    He's in the midst of a house move at the moment, so his lab wont be up and running until late Jan. If your not in a rush, he's your UK man

    If you dont mind sending it away further afield, then Marrian (on this site) is exceptionally good and highly recommended.
