If there is something black, that's the washer. It measns your problem was the flywheel thrust play adjustment, not the washer. If you locked the...
@ianthepostie Quite a unique design, both mechanical and electronic. I would be curious to see a more detailed picture of the PCB, with the part...
I think the correct term is "washer" for the part you are reffering to, not "ring". The answer is yes, it should be present on all walkmans, not...
@AE_Stereo Now I understand your point. I am on the same page with you in reagrd to the creative art behind the physical formats. It seems that...
@Ivajlo B Please read posts #332 and #333 (5 posts before yours) as we already stated the experience in regard to that gear. Use it without any...
@Mister X I think this thread should be made sticky, as it contains all the relevant information and a good title. @Deb64 Great thread ! I think...
Some of these cassettes are very likely what is called a TYPE 0 (meaning they are not manufactured under a standard). There are 2 videos below...
I need to double check, but I think the one going directly to the GND of the circuit is the motor shielding. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense,...
@Silver965 Very good point ! This is a very simple circuit that seems to have everything integrated into one chip, including the drive transistor....
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE: 1. New rubber ring and new belt Belt is likely loose or has turned to goo. Rubber ring will probably have an indentation...
This thread will cover the parts necessary and the most common things that will need to be done on these walkmans to bring them in fully working...
@jacobsteel Those ebay/amazon "motor regulators" do not have a feedback loop, so they won't work well at all (they probably don't output DC). I...
@Deb64 Powering the motor drive circuit through a regulator is a very good idea indeed. Of course, it implies a working device to begin with......
@jacobsteel I have a BASF HiFi 8200 deck in my collection (which has some problems, I have not bothered to fully repair it). It has an AC motor...
@jacobsteel Unfortunately the third option proposed by you is something that will not work in practice for a couple of reasons. Let me explain...
There are even sellers on ebay which sell the walkman together with such a switch mode power supply, so buyers beware. For referece, all DD models...
What do you mean by "MP3 music manufacturers" and "MP3 music packaging" ? To me it doesn't really make sense, as mp3 is a digital format, not...
@Silverera The CX20084 is not a potted hybrid module, so there isn't anything to strip down. If we are to do that (assuming we could do it without...
My personal recommendation is to try to use it for some time if the buttons are just a bit sticky. If it starts to get loose, I would say just...
Ok, there are some tell-tale signs that the chips in your picture are fake: - the fact that they are packed into SMD tape and reel; it's hard to...
Separate names with a comma.
