    Hello all,
    I have the unusual issue of my headphone only working on the Radio option. When switched to tape only one headphones is working (with the other playing only low freq.). When I mess with the aux and pull it out slightly both work but the sound quality really drops.
    I’d appreciate any help.
    Thanks.
    Can provide photos on request.

    Hello Filip,

    What do you mean by AUX ? The problem could be caused by a number of reasons, so more information is needed.

    I mean my headphone cable, when I pull it out slightly it plays through both, but with poor quality.

    You are missing a channel on the tape section of the Walkman: pulling out the headphone cable a bit only appears to fix that because it is giving you a mono signal instead. If the radio section works fine then the problem is likely with the tape head or the wiring from the tape head.
