Apart from the noise, there are 2 issues that I see: 2. The belt is way too thick for that walkman. You need a 0.5-0.6mm thickness belt for it....

This is a step-by-step tutorial covering how to replace the pinch roller on the JVC full logic walkmans. While the basic principle for replacing...
Sounds like the device was powered with reverse polarity and likely both the CX20084 IC and the DC-DC converter have failed. The DC-DC boost...
Screws are M1.4 with a length of probably 2-3mm. You can find a set of walkmans screws here, which I recommend getting:...
Start by double checking everything: - are all the pins you desoldered soldered back ? Solenoid, motor, battery terminals, tape in/EQ switches. -...
@Emiel the head of your DC2 was re-lapped indeed. @LotharGores I do re-lapping on heads, but have not done that particular head type before as I...
I would try polish first and see how much of a difference it makes. If it's just a thin layer of corrosion on the surface, polish will clean it...
I would check the belt routing as on this model it's very easy to put the main belt backwards. This will drive the reels backwards, pushing the...
Why do you want to replace the CX20068 with CX20218 ? You made me curious. I do not know if the components around the Dolby circuit are identical...
It's hard to say what the price is given it's a relatively rare unit and there are always people out there which will speculate just because they...
The device looks good overall, seems like the takeup reel ring gear is not cracked I cannot hear the typical tac-tac sound. The fact that motor...
Ok, so let me clarify: My measurements do not take into account the narrower portion that gets into the recess, hence why there are only 3...
I do have some measurements, but take into accounts they're approximate: PLAY idlers (2 pcs needed): 13.5 x 8.5 x 2.5mm (outer diameter x inner...
This sounds like one or both idlers which drive the takeup reel may be slipping. It's a very common problem on these devices, although you said...
I am on the same page with you, think restoring the original one is the best option and should be tried first. This is a good idea ! Please share...
IPA can be used safely on rubber parts, I have been using it for many many years without any issues whatsoever. Acetone is a more aggresive...
There are mainly 2 solutions to your problem: 1. Clean your original rubber very good with IPA or acetone. To me it doesn't look that bad and I...
Dolby C works in a relatively different way compared to Dolby B, it's not just doing more of the same stuff hence why the 2 systems are...
Indeed if the motor doesn't run smoothly, it means there is increased friction which in turn will increase the motor current. And yes, the tape...
