    I'm Kelvin and I been collecting Sony walkman for a year now.

    Recently, just got a Sanyo M-S400K from my mother in law for repair. Looking for anyone who has a guide on how to replace the belt.

    Welcome to the forum! Good luck with the repair, those are neat little boomboxes, unfortunately I don't see any free manuals in my sources.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Please post some pictures of your Walkman(s).

    Welcome!
    I enjoyed my time in the Philippines way back in 1995, I have great memories of sitting on the beach at Puerto Galera listening to my Walkman and drinking beers, watching the bunkers come and go!

    What area are you based in?
    The best thing you can do is remove the back cover of your Sanyo and take a picture for us.
    Often the belt change is very easy, especially if the unit is older and larger which most Sanyos were.
    Also, you might get lucky and be able to replace the belt with one from a generic 2 dollar belt kit off ebay, if not then you can look for belts on similar models to the one you have, alot of the time the same belt is used on several different models.
