Hi guys! I created this account a while ago but I just got my first 2 Walkmans so I figured I'd start using it. I got into retro hifi stuff about a year ago when I bought an Onkyo TA-2130 Deck. I got a Sanyo M-W2F Boombox about 6 months ago which was the first thing I ever did a belt replacement on. I just bought a WM-101 which looks like it just needs a new belt and a WM-EX511 that needs a belt but also looks like it's in desperate need of some new pinch rollers. Hopefully I can get them both working soon.
Welcome. I'm also in AUS and have a few EX Walkman. Particularly the EX677 and EX674 which are amongst the last Japanese built players with metal cases and full features list. Belts are generally easy to fit on these.
