About the calibration tape, the one I recommended initially in the old thread is unfortunately no longer made. The one in your link is a good...
The capacitors can be found at the big electronics distributors: DigiKey, Mouser, Farnell, etc. You won't find such small capacitors at the local...
Yes, the simple way is to simply adjust it by ear. Rotate the trimpot until you can no longer hear the imbalance. Rotating counterclockwise...
Yes he is indeed selling split washers but those have a smaller inner diameter as they go into the recess of the capstan not over the capstan....
I have not seen this type of potentiometer to go bad. And usually just spraying contact cleaner into it fixes any issues, you definetely don't...
No worries, you got nothing wrong. I pointed out just so you know pics can be added to a thread without adding them to the gallery. How you do it...
Given the problem is happening on both the radio and cassette, it has to be in the power amplifier section. Everything before this can be...
I suggest posting here: https://stereo2go.com/forums/forums/2hand-gear-you-want/ and ask for it, there may be members who have extra pieces and...
In regard to capstans, rust may not be very visible. You need to take a closer look and check for any dark lines/spots. Move your fingernail...
Wonder why they keep doing units with the following "features": 1. Recoreders with no line in, but with mic in. Also, for a recorder to be good...
Glad to hear it's working ! For my own curiosity, what eneded up to be the problem with buttons not doing anything ? I definetely hope so, but...
That is a very good value ! Anything between 0.06% WRMS and 0.1% WRMS can be considered to be within specification on these units. For reference...
The 15kHz bandwitdh limit is indeed in order to limit the RF bandwidth of the FM transmission, but also in order to not interfere with the 19kHz...
You should remove the motor and try to set the play by using the feeler gauge. Howver, given the capstan is a bit recessed inside the brass...
Looking at the block diagram in the service manual, there are quite a few things that need to work properly for this device to power on. There are...
The leaf switches on these units usually need to be cleaned with sandpaper (800-1000 grit), contact cleaner alone usually doesn't do it. I would...
The question is not stupid at all, thanks for pointing it out. It is, in fact, my mistake as I never used the feeler gauge method to adjust these...
It will only if you don't clean the capstan after re-installing it. In the original tutorial there is one step that is missing, although it's...
@Rune Lindman For reference please add a link to the product page. A simple search with strings like "WM-100 battery", "WM 100 battery" etc....
It's my mistake, I recently fixed WM-701Cs/F701Cs (so this is what I had in mind) which now I realise have a different type of motor than the...
