    Hi folks

    Long shot - wondered if anyone could help me finish this refurb on the Sony WM-R202.
    As you can see, I am missing the perspex window...

    Hope someone might find one in their parts bin and maybe swap it for something from my spares.. ?

    Just really want to finish this project

    Keep it analogue!

    Have you thought on cropping a lid of a cassette case to adapt it?

    There was a time that I worked on Acrylic parts and I can tell you that Its very easy to design and make this part . You can read my topic about it. Its not easy to find this part. Its easier to find another walkman than finding the acrylic window itself.

    If you just want something to fill the gap you might be able to print onto Overhead Projector Film (if such stuff is still available) and then carefully cut out the shape.
    Alternatively find a print shop who could do it for you.

    p.s. I have never used them

    I have a small box of Overhead Projector film retained from a University course about 15 years back. Do you think it may be a good long-term investment?:D
