Ok so I desoldered the motor wires and fed it 1.5 V and I can hear it move, so the motor itself is definitely alive.
No not as yet I don't want to fully take it apart without doing some diagnostics first. I'm also not sure how much voltage to feed it.
Can someone also please confirm the correct way to read pin voltages for IC601? Is it a case of putting the device in play mode then putting the...
[ATTACH] I have also probed these two points from the DC-DC converter expecting around 11 V, but it appears to just be the same as the battery...
[ATTACH] I probed these two points with voltmeter and got 0 V, same with probing red + earth tab on the opposite side of the board. Not sure if...
Hi guys I've been using my WM-D6C without issues since around March/April this year. I last used it a week ago and it was absolutely fine. Today...
I simply took off the lid and tried to poke out just the roller (not the whole assembly). The washer is only to remove the assembly itself, but...
How do you go about removing the pinch roller on these? I've done repairs on a number of these smaller walkmans, and I know you have to pop the...
Thanks, 10 hours a week is pretty light though compared to 10 hours a day lol
WM-150 :)
Oh I definitely do, pretty much using it as my primary music source all day while I work, hence the question. I spent a lot of time and effort in...
Is there anything wrong with playing a walkman for up to 10 hours a day, every day? As long as the motor is kept lubricated every so often? Not...
Sure, here it is: [ATTACH]
Yeah 100%... the only explanation I have is that someone changed the sticker or something but doesn't make sense or look like it was ever removed....
I got a weird one, my D6C has the regular non-pointy 35711 head and the old through-hole PCB, but the serial number is 651xxx..... :areyousure:
Can you take a video of the mechanism playing and then stopping itself? You can get it to play by pushing the black plunger switch on the flip...
Would be interested in a WM-150 if you have!
Before adjusting the capstan/bearing, I was getting 3080 Hz fwd and 3200 Hz rev on a 3150 Hz signal. Now it's 3100 Hz fwd and 3125 Hz rev. Small...
So I decided to remove the FWD capstan entirely and swap the bearing, added a touch of lube there as well. I think that has made some improvement,...
Just the one clutch so wouldn't be that. I'm just wondering though if there was gear wear, would that actually impact playback speed? Since the...
