Your'e welcome, i agree,but i have't seen any post about this anywhere,so i thought why not. I actually own this WM and with a good headphone,it doesn't sound bad
I love this Walkman, mine has a broken component that I wish to repair with a desoldering station one day (transformer T301) but otherwise I really like its sound.
I loved that movie and I'm pretty sure I have that Walkman. capStan, let me know if you know Inky Ragnusson over there, I might be messing up the spelling but if you know him.....you know him.... stereomecha99, are you looking for a desoldering station or is it just a project in cue? I use a syringe style vacuum or wick, both work pretty good, I have a feeling you've used both but I'm not sure what a desoldering station is.
Fresh desolder wick is great (once opened it looses its effectiveness after a couple of years) A desolder station is similar to a syringe style desolderer but with a heated tip and using a Vacuum pump. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BK-3080L...613001&hash=item33d629532e:g:RsMAAOSwfaZZr-hm A professional tool. Twenty five years ago, before everything started being made in China a friend who was a TV repair man, had a side business making them using car air-horn pumps.
Thanks Longman, I've never seen those stations before, that would be a huge time-saver. I also didn't know wick went bad, that's good to know.
Hi Mister X, yes for a long time I used desoldering braid and one of those hand pumps but not too long ago I saw a video of a man replacing every cap on a board in just shy of 10 minutes (really quite amazing stuff) and since then I've been trying to find a station... Could just order one from online but oh well
Don't you feel special for having a better walkman than Ben Stiller's character? I have a WM-FX407 — just the same as an FX403, but with Mega Bass and with Dolby. Interesting, I thought that the FX403 had Mega Bass and the FX401 did not. Need to look the user/service manuals for details. It is all plastic and chunky, but is not as bad as one might think.
