There is continuity at the leaf switch AND at the PCB. But yes, I think I will leave it alone.
Yes, I agree, I don't think it's worth opening up the motor. You are correct, I am getting continuity at the leaf switch! My probes are not very...
> My initial reading was actually with the wires desoldered. > How would I measure at the motor? It doesn't seem to be possible to open the motor...
Thank you for your reply - 1. The motor doesn't seem to be running high speed. Speed trimmer is still not affecting it visually, since there's no...
@Valentin - sorry to tag you, I'm wondering if you have any thoughts? Thank you again :)
Ok, I got my wick and cleaned up the board! Progress in one place. It is no longer running without reason and there is no longer continuity...
Thank you, Valentin. Once I get my solder wick I will see what I can find. The strangest thing is it was working fine until the last time I closed...
Alright, so I disconnected the leaf switches from the PCB and the motor continued to run. I checked and there is continuity between the two...
@Jehr - getting continuity on the wires while also moving the head manually! Good news there at least :)
Thank you! I will check tomorrow when I have daylight and get back to you on most of the details. The tape speed was normal according to what I...
You're correct - I see there is another leaf switch. I guess the switch I showed you in the first photo is FF/REW because the gold one under the...
I'm thinking you may be right, @Jehr - and I'm definitely with you on the wires, it's the first thing I checked because they are so flimsy. I've...
Thank you for the quick response. I am looking now and when I press STOP or PLAY there is no change in the leaf switch. It only changes when I...
Hello! I'm having the same issue with my wm-2 motor running. It was fine and then all of a sudden it won't stop running and the volume is...
@stuck-in-time here are some pictures in case I'm missing something. Some of the wires aren't soldered currently, ignore those [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I somehow got the audio going through both channels again but suddenly the walkman won't stop running when I hit stop. In addition to being super...
@stuck-in-time - I'll keep trying deoxit but in the meantime I am convinced this walkman hates me. Everything was working and today I went to...
Fixed - ish! The volume pot wasn't installed correctly into the case. It had a bit of space. Once it was clicked in, it works much better. There...
@stuck-in-time alright so I got both those pieces set in. I reassembled the walkman and it's so odd, if I adjust the volume pot directly with...
Here is a close up of where it is clicking. https://youtube.com/shorts/LNOWJZaY628?feature=share
