I bought one of these a month or two ago.. good condition still with its original carry strap. Still havent looked at it for repair yet.
I'm there too, I love how cool they are but there's no way I can justify spending the time to change the belts. Of course working around the home is much more fun, tonight I was grinding old tile grout off the floor but I think the dusty hammer chisel worked better. My old hands love the vibration. I'd love to hear the Sony Engineers talk about the player and the reasoning behind the design, if I had to guess, it's just a cool clunky Walkman with a radio, something a little different....
Forgot to say, thanks for the vid, may help me when I get around to it . Meanwhile I’ve started on 4 Walkman and have problems with all… not starting this until one of the 4 is going.
