Nowadays 2500mAh AA cells are very common and these offer more than enough capacity for walkmans. There are some walkmans (the DD range for...
Welcome to the forum, @RetroTech ! It's always nice to see people like you who are into servicing these units, as this is something that will ne...
Thanks for sharing with us, I suspected capacitor issues from the beginning in regard to the loud pops, but @flyman didn't measure them yet as we...
@Romulo Lubachesky Which problem do you have exactly ? Cause here there is more than one problem: 1. There's the motor hum; 2. There's excessive...
As already mentioned, the mint condition is a big plus. However the device will have to be serviced either before you sell it or you will have to...
Prices vary depending on many factors and at the end of day it depends on: - how big the demand is, meaning how many people actually want to buy...
This walkman has more than one problem that was mentioned initially. @flyman has started a private conversation with me and once we reach some...
You mention that the TCD-D100 suffers from a potential broken gear of similar design to the WM-DD series (plastic molded on metal). Do you have...
Yes, a faulty electronic component can cause increased current (although unlikely) but: 1. It would not cause hum if it's not from the motor; 2....
Have you solved the problem by doing something on the potentiometer ? Can't give you an answer since I never seen your device. The increased...
So to be clear, is there a clear correlation between FWD/PLAY label on the button and normal center gear/thick gear ? FWD labeled units are...
Ah, didn't realise the MZ-2P is a player only. That explains why there is no writing current adjustment. I don't know what to say, please post...
Glad my post was helpful ! I did find the laser read power adjustment (there is also a separate write power one), don't know what to say. It's...
All parts are interchangable with the exception of WM-D3 which has some additional parts like the counter and the REC/PB lever which do not exist...
At 6.6Wh in total for the NiMH, the 18650 cells have 3.8times more capacity so you should get close to 4 hours of use. The NiMH ones seem to be...
Hello and welcome to the forum ! We can help you in giving some guidelines, but we can't give you an exact price quotation because at the end of...
Let me make myself clearer: you need to measure the current of the motor itself not the current draw of the whole walkman. So forget about that DC...
Just taking the belt out is not enough, as there is the servo circuit and the amplifiers which have their own idle currents and I don't know the...
Yes indeed it's much higher than it should be. If it was 105-110mA rather than 100mA I would say to leave it alone, but at 122mA it's a concern....
Looking at the schematic, the battery and the DC in jack are in parallel so I have to assume the DC-DC converter (CP501) operates on a wide...
