Hi Derek. Welcome. I am also from "down here :)". I have some of that gear from the 70's your dad probably had too. Not the Skyline GTR though....
I'll second that. Most enthusiasts trust Marian.
I will get one because the sliders alone accommodate a gum stick battery which most of these generic chargers have bays that are too short for a...
Having restored three Aiwas the HS-G500, HS-G09 and HS-P07 I have found the belt is super critical in terms of wow and flutter. In a number of...
Agree with @Mister X and it is likely a pinched wire during reassembly has lost some insulation and is making contact with the solder trails on...
Yes that is too long. The risk of over charging is a consideration. NiMH probably safer than Li-ion batteries though which can catch fire without...
This topic does the rounds fairly regularly in S2G. I have multiple gumstick batteries and numerous smart and dumb chargers and I have gone back...
@Jorge Thanks for the info. Probably not worth bothering because it's a workhorse D33 and this morning is working perfectly on a studio CD. Seems...
Hey Jorge. Do you know which motor is used in the D33?.I have had an intermittent problem with mine which is my garage player. Nothing special I...
Ah that's it...looks very nice.
Well if you want to sell one PM and we can perhaps work something out. You do an excellent job on these from what I have seen here.
That has come up really well. Maybe you should grab a D-555 in need of repair. I want one of these also but don't think the repairs are within my...
Oh right. That's what happens once they have dried out. Apparently you can try to refill them with distilled water to recreate the acid component...
Hi from a fellow early Discman collector. I noticed the BP-2 lead acid battery in your photos. Are you going to restore it for the D90?. I have a...
Hi Paul. There were 4 base models sold as Walkman Professionals. The WM-D6, the D6C, the DC2 and WM-D3. The DC2 did not have the record function....
Great to rediscover the cassette Walkman and all of that experience that goes with them. I should warn you, if you love sound quality you won't be...
....or the Fab 4. I think that might have been used already :)
The star is definitely US model and appears even on budget models like the WM-F16 which I had and sold recently. What is interesting is your low...
Had a similar problem with a WM-D6. The play and record buttons engage a part Sony refer to as the "plate lock". An even smaller piece of plastic...
Well that's something else I've learnt today. Odd. I've heard of eraser collections before but pencil sharpener collecting!. Fair enough I guess :)
