Does the radio work? Valentin mentions a good point if only the cassette portion isn't working.
I would check a few things in this order: 1. Battery connection - make sure the battery is making good contact. If you have the 1.5 dc power...
Does anyone know if this button can be substituted for a WM-2 play button?
Well I took another shot at cleaning and lubricating it. I'm leaving it to run through a cassette right now though it sounds even worse than...
I took your advice Valentin and bought watch oil to lubricate the area you pointed out. Despite cleaning and what I judged to be correct placement...
@Valentin You were right about cleaning the mechanism . . . The idler only grips when you have cleaned it extremely thoroughly with a microfiber...
Thank you for this info Valentin. I'm actually looking to purchase some oil for current repairs. Would something like this...
@CoGoNYC That is a very loud F10! It wasn't completely clear but it sounded like there was some scraping in the mechanism as well a loud motor. I...
I recently picked up a cheap Sony wm-f77 that wasn't working in the hopes of being able to put it back on it's feet for a few more years. It...
I think that logic is spot on. The screw I adjusted was a grounding screw.
My dd22 has since stopped making those sounds but if I'm going to be honest, I'm not 100% why. I remember there was a screw that went through the...
I took another look inside to see if there was anything obviously wrong but it all checked out. I have very little clue how to diagnose this (do...
The sounds occur after about 30ish seconds: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I3t6rOc6zuH7uuXy6B4D8gnYAdTxwX5p/view?usp=sharing And appear mostly...
It doesn't vary with volume and strangely only occurs when there is a cassette playing (whether the cassette has anything on it or not). I even...
There is a strange issue with my dd22 where it makes popping/crackling sounds after a little while of playing. I had previously replaced caps on...
Wow! That's a pretty awesome overview spreadsheet. Sadly I have nothing to contribute but I did wonder that if the DD22 was the first walkman with...
I am pretty sure this player just uses the cheap "Thread in the spring" door mech which can be frustrating. It sounds like just the spring has...
When I dismantled the F10 I was able to clean out the motor which was initially loud however the motor is still very loud and I was wondering if...
Oh I see. Digital reproductions I assume are considerably easier than analogue with FPGA (if even possible). I know very little of how FPGAs work...
Wow! I have always dreamt of a dd9 mech walkman controlled with an FPGA which could potentially shrink all the sound chips and controller chips...
