Have you bridged these two pins?[IMG] The Walkman will run twice as fast and not react to the speed control as well as run without pressing play...
I've read the booklets in those albums and found the whole available library: [IMG] I really wonder how few of these must have sold if they are...
Two actual albums, not demo tapes. Turns out there are way more micro albums than documented - these were all made by Panasonic/National. The...
Yeah, you'd think a belt with a twist like that would be the incorrect way to route it, not vice versa. Bizarre, especially since other Sony...
Don't forget about checking the motor driver transistor (Q601 iirc). Incorrect polarity PSU can damage it in 2 ways, either make it short or go...
I had no idea the belt was supposed to make a twist like that, I didn't even notice it even after looking at the photos for some time! Thanks for...
That's what I'm thinking, but the solder joints on all of my units looked factory... I also have a TCM-600 and I changed the belts in exactly the...
I've wanted to talk about this for a long time. I've had 2 WM-3s and TPS-L2s on my hands so far and all but one of them had the issue of spinning...

There are only two. I haven't measured the counter belt and I gave you the measurements of the main drive belt above.
You mean the rubber rings? 1mm thickness at 5mm and 3mm circumference. I haven't measured the largest one.
Oh, I see. So it doesn't work on mine because the counter belt is broken. I think the belt was like 55mm at 0.8mm thickness.
Also, this unit has some kind of tape skip functionality referred to as "memory". It's electronic because the head is stereo and the device mono....
I have recieved my M-301 in the post today. It's a marvel of late 70's engineering inside. [IMG] It's a very tricky unit to get back working....
I'm not too aquainted with the DD9, but it seems to have a plethora of range switches that inform the mechanism controller about the current tape...
I've recently purchased a WM-31 just because I thought it looked neat, though cheap. After giving it a thorough clean and lubrication, the...
Unfortunately haven't been able to get that Nikken - it sold for too much. Novelties aside, I didn't feel like paying $25 + $25 shipping and VAT...
Also, note how it doesn't say it's a stereo recorder. It does have a normal/metal tape switch, but I am almost sure this device is mono. But I...
Something quirky from Yahoo Auctions in Japan: a knock-off of the Olympus SR11. Yes, a knock-off. Not a rebrand, not using the same parts - this...
Hey, I can't tell you much about the sound. All of my microcassette players suffer from unpleasant treble. You can try adjusting the head azimuth...
