    I've just been fixing my WM-701C, and all is now working fine, apart from one thing...

    On putting it back together, I've noticed that the tension spring which holds the door catch shut has dropped off during the operation, and has definitely gone for good - Christmas cleaning has meant that much vacuuming has been going on, so wherever it went, it's now been cleaned away :-(

    Does anyone know where (or even if) it's possible to source another one of these from anywhere? For clarity, the spring is the tension spring in the service manual with part number 3-350-924-01.

    Any pointers very much appreciated!

    Sorted - in the end I just bought another WM-701C that was pretty much dead, and harvested it from there :thumbsup2:

    Interestingly, I was then tempted to fix that new one, and things were going well (given it was in an awful state when I received it), but a small crack in the ribbon connector which goes to the play head was the thing that beat me in the end. Shame, as apart from that (and a broken door catch, plus now the lack of a door spring, as that's what I took from it for my other 701C), it was looking promising....

    Anyone got a spare play head ribbon...? :loldiag:
