I found a very similar device, the WM-EX606. Search for WM-EX606 PCB on Google, you’ll quickly find the photo below: [ATTACH]
A really extensive collection! Amazing to see all these portables together.
It looks like one of the EX5yy or EX6yy mechanisms to me. Except for the long motor ribbon cable, the PCB, cam gear, idler, head mounting, and 2...
Thanks for sharing @Machaneus . I believe that "stayter" / "rotar" in 3 motor direct drive memo recorder should read "stator" / "rotor". I noticed...
Furthermore, in the overview image posted above, there are some lines dedicated to the DD33 and the iconic WM-2 design. This design, combined with...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I just got the book, really nice overview! Only looked at the Walkman overview so far and I noticed the WM-DD33, and the...
These all seem to be the ones without screws, being held together with clips, right? Can be repaired but with a bit more caution.
Thanks for sharing @Silver965 . Except for the WM-F20 though, these are not that low. Lowest I could find here was a B603 with 45k, followed by a...
With little modifications, this became the DD9. The same inventor apparently designed the WM-B603 / WM-EX49C:...
The TPS-L2 is explicit @Valentin about serial number cut-off ranges for specific markets. It seems unlikely that in Canada the 'old' model did...
Would you happen to have a link for the W&F findings? Sony did not provide the numbers in catalogs or service manuals.
Thanks for sharing the link. It is not that new, I read the relevant page of this and several other sites as desk research for the DD overview table:)
I looked into a few details of the 700 series, since I really like the appearance of the units. Sony engineers further optimized these thin...
A rare accessory for sure! The end of production dates of most of the Walkmans are relatively hard to establish. So the DD-100 was for sale till...
Thanks for sharing these! Great to see the marketing side of the F5, never meant to be used submerged :) According to the service manual it was...
Thanks for sharing @Valentin and @CDV. 0.23% for the cheaper built Walkman is really good and on the low side for that mechanism, especially...
I like your response @TooCooL4 . Given however the prices a D6C seems to go for nowadays, the D3 is a more conscious price alternative. Will it be...
I find the D3 underrated, at least a properly restored one :) Recording performance may not be on par with the D6C, but the compact size and Dolby...
And that response was not mine :(. Can’t find the time to sit down and listen properly unfortunately.. or order new parts for Walkmans from Fix...
Good to read you did already research it quit a bit. I would love to have a high res picture btw. For the DD timeline I’m looking for photos for a...
