See my old thread for a clutch fix! http://stereo2go.org/forums/threads/walkman-150-clutch-repair.628/
This is a repost of my old thread. In the late 80s and early 90s, the Walkman 150 mechanism replaced the earlier WM10/40/100/501 mechanisms and...
EX-5s should be good. The 100 series does not use a screw on box (except for later revisions based on this mechanism), it uses a fragile clip on box.
Yes the EX49 suffers as well. I too like the design of this series of machines, that's why I try to repair them. WM-100 series have great...
Unlike the 150 there are way more caps on that model, an uncommon 330uf, and all are surface mount, and they leak, corroding the traces on the...
Yep!
Is it just me or are most of these overpriced? I don't think a DD11 is worth that much, you can get better DD machines for that money... The D6C...
Aiwa Lead Acid Battery. No direct replacement, in this case the external battery pack would be ideal.
See the recent TPS-L2 thread- you might be able to free it with WD-40/alcohol then lube it with sewing machine oil.
See if that (the flywheel holder) is installed properly. If it is, Do a Flywheel thrust adjustment. There's a white screw on this part that you...
Belt not routed correctly- check pictures of other TPS-L2 belts.
I suggest you do the final lubrication with an oil that won't evaporate. I generally use sewing machine oil. To get it free, WD40 should work,...
Try running the motor solely off a single AA battery with no load. If it doesn't turn, try turning the shaft by hand and see if it's stiff/stuck....
This (7ZM) mechanism isn't exactly the brightest design, is it? It's like they took the worst of the RQ-SX series and removed the belt buffer for...
You can replace the electrolytics with tantalums, but this might affect the sound on the audio path. Otherwise, replace with high quality, known...
Try running the machine with the cover off and see where the tape gets eaten. Very often in Auto Reverse Walkmans, tapes get eaten when the takeup...
If you Walkman has values not listed or is a very large early model, you may need to find specific caps. In this case, search for capacitor value...
The caps in my list should fit you fine. You can bend the SMD cap legs to fit through hole PCBs. If you wish to use through hole caps, look for...
Ah yes the infamous flat flex film PCB. I have a terrible condition example of a National (Panasonic) RQ-R3. Opened it up once, saw the "PCB",...
It might help to look at a similar model in this case. Try another Aiwa Alpha mechanism model like the PX303, PL303, JX303, JX505, JL303.
