I want one Fuji FR I Super but no one wants to even borrow me for few days :) It's really a rare tape. I know for sure that I like TDK AR for...
I'm not sure if all so called superferrics are cobalt doped, but there are plenty of them. Maxells XLI-S, TDK AR (more popular) and AR-X, Denon DX...
MA-XG is a great tape but seriously if you didn't need a tape-perfect CD copy you could make very good record on very good Nakamichi/Aiwa etc deck...
Mine is Silent Mechanism, they are a little different but I guess not in that regard :) Thanks. I will try that. I will check belt too.
I thought of somethong simillar. Maybe when you've put the tape, you made a pressure on cracked solder joint or the pcb itself. That's why it...
I can't. I would rather not sell something that not work at least to my satisfactory level (that would mean close to correct speed, minimal w&f...
Which version do you have, the one with Silent Mechanism on the door or Twin Rotor Motor? Did you clean pcb and how? Maybe it was a bad solder,...
Speed is ok, for the other side and 90% of bad side. I wouldn't call this problem w&f only, that's why. And w&f as I understand is not a problem...
I will try to check w&f but that was for me a secondary problem, as it's not the problem for most of the time. I cleaned rollers and capstans with...
Ok, checked SA again and it's the same. So it's not tape, it's more like randomly works ok
Ok, so I tested some tapes and: TDK SA from 87 and 93 - plays beatifully even on autoreverse. TDK SF 87 (same exact shell as AR 87 below) plays...
Ok, so put one tape in those places at one time. You will find aproximate place where problem occurs.
It's not about battery. Strange thing is that happens almost always on autoreverse on end of one side and almost never when I reverse tape...
I will try to clean it and get back.
I've read manual, but there were nothing about this, so it's most probably a problem with Panasonic.
Would it be possible to change motor to brushless in older Walkmans? I mean EX9xx motor in F701C for example. I think those are smaller, so at...
Speaking of electronics and such, of course I would like that Walkman to be more like 50h on batteries vs 2h. Of course if it had more power on...
One Panasonic RQ S15 that I repaired forget's tape is inside and won't play. It goes like this: I put tape in, play it, it plays one song or songs...
"It would also increase the cost significantly to add 2 direct drive motors" Why? Wouldn't it be easier to make a change direction drive...
I think you forgot 'if remote is available, headphone jack should be accessible without it'. I would happily take two jacks in every Walkman I...
