This is a relatively common issue even with phones and other devices that charge via USB-C. Most (if not all) USB-C to USB-C cables have a...
The brass things are the flywheels. You need to clean those as well as the small motor pulley and the black idler pulley. I recommend using IPA...
@Chris Rae I watched the video, the belt is definetely too loose for proper operation. It needs to have more tension to be able to engage the head...
This is interesting. I did restore pre-recorded cassettes myself in the past as had some which left a lot of oxide and residue on the head and...
I have a couple of suggestions to add in regard to this so people reading this thread are less likely to get scammed: 1. Pay careful atttention...
Think I have spotted what the problem is: the detection lever has a spring that seems not hooked on one end. Check attached picture. So leave...
Ok, first of all leave that black part alone don't cut it as it's part of the auto-stop mechanism. Please check the operation of the auto-stop...
@sirwalkboy Please create a new thread (in the Walkman --> Tech Talk section) in regard to the TCM-100 problem as it's not related to anything...
About capacitors, it depends on the brand of capacitors fitted, but I can't remember seeing any WM-2s with leaky caps. The WM-5 is indeed prone to...
In regard to the gray wire positioning, I already answered your questions so won't go back to that. Looking at the last picture indeed I can see...
This thread covers a new method for adjusting skipping teeth on FF and/or REW on SONY WM-DD series walkmans. It applies to all units that use a...
Units sold on https://www.fixyouraudio.com are the following: - WM-DD has 681 units old; - WM-DDII 120 units sold; - WM-DDIII 97 units sold; -...
I understand the situation with the balance degrading over time. In my opinion, things should be taken in order by playing a tape with a test tone...
Ok, listened on headphones and indeed there is a channel imbalance: the right channel is louder but not by a huge amount. This kind of imbalance...
A question: what was the initial problem you were trying to solve by replacing these capacitors ? Listening to your recording, I would say the...
Looking at the schematic I think there is an error in regard to C306. I think this is an intereference supression capacitor going from the...
For the wire I recommend 28-29AWG wire for replacing the existing wires. The exact diameter isn't critical as the current consumption is very...
I attach a picture of how the wiring is done. The 2 batteries are wired in series (to have 3V), so there is one black wire that goes from the...
Indeed the BA3304F is not the limiting factor as the closed loop voltage gain remains contant until above 30kHz. Looking at the datasheet of...
@Thomas Monteith If you're willing to send the device to Romania I can fix it for you.
