Just returning to update on this topic. Wanted to say to all the folks that said, don't do it, it'll be broken.... you were all CORRECT!...
This unit in question is £148. Which is a magnitude cheaper than the DD9 I bid on that eventually went over £900 in untested condition....
Indeed this one isn't listed as having been serviced. They have just stated good working condition, and only blemishes are on the front as show....
Can you share why it's not worth the money? Has it got poor quality audio?
I've found eBay is pretty decent when it comes to buyer safety. They've got it written down pretty clear what conditions mean to them. A cracked...
This is the unit in question I've been looking at. It's got a couple of light marks on the front, presumably where it's scuffed against a...
So mostly looking for some advice, maybe a little validation on what would be a good price to pay for an advertised "good working order" dd33?...
I got a replacement gear for the capstan. There's a chap in France who sells them on ebay. Just the gear, so you butcher out the old gear and...
Yeah reached out to me on a FB group. So I've ordered one of them. Should arrive faster than the Buyee.jp one and it's a lot cheaper. Hopefully...
Well the capstan gear has arrived at the Buyee.jp warehouse, they estimate 3x the original price for shipping. So now I've got to buy some more...
Also if the consensus is that the 4v 470uf capacitor is the issue, where on earth can I source these. Scoured ebay, aliexpress and the internet...
Well this is embarrassing, I literally received this walkman today, I had a belt ready and waiting as it was sold as probably needing one. I...
I had to sign out. I started randomly bidding on every junk WM2. Some looked horrendous condition, just made me want them more.
Great find. Nice never used Buyee so I've given it a go. I seem to have paid for it, the buyout price which seemed reasonable.
While it stays completed... I thought I was done with my WM2, just time to enjoy it, but then it broke.
Walkman.land call it the Walkman WM-2. But it has Walkman WMII printed on the front of it. It seems the part is very much not available unless...
My Flywheel gear has decomposed and I'm struggling to find a source for a replacement. I either need a source for a used but good flywheel or...
All was going so well. Until today, I fired a cassette into my WM2 and it sounded really noisy when I hit FWD. It was silent in FF/RWD but...
I honestly can't believe how well classic hardware that's languished in a drawer for maybe 20 years and is then butchered by me comes back to...
Well I've stripped and carefully cleaned this poor old WM2 more times than I care to admit but I think I've got it nailed now. I degreased it all...
