    Hi everyone, I got into Walkmans about a year ago when I found my mother's EX23 with a lot of cassettes. Since then I bought a few other Sony and Panasonic players and fixed them up a bit. I joined because right now I'm stuck with both of my DD projects because the same part broke on both of them, the Lever Assembly (X-3578-121-0). I hope someone will have that part laying around.

    Welcome to the forum! Sorry I can't help you, I have no DD models and am kicking myself for not getting a few when they were reasonably priced.

    Welcome to the forum, @Tamas Gati ! That lever assembly is a known problem on DD walkmans unfortunately.

    Depending on how bad it is, the existing one may be repiared. Check this guide if you have not already: http://www.walkman-archive.com/articles/sony-dd-repair-guide_07.html
    If the levers are beyond any kind of repair, I suggest you post a request for the part in the "Gear that you want" section of the forum.

    Good luck with the repair !

    Unfortunately both of them broke at the same place at the fixing pins, so they're beyond repair. I'll check out the Gear you want section, but last time I couldn't post because I didn't have enough points. I'm really new to this forum thing to be honest. Thanks a lot though.

    I was lucky with one of them, I found the DD2 at a local flea markt for 20 euros. It's crazy how expensive they've become.

    Can you post a photo of the part?
