If the FX70 is just an EX70 with radio, then this is the pinch roller that you need to buy:...
Yes, those coin cells are always used to keep power to a volatile memory, as those have very little current draw (in the order of a couple μA) so...
Let us know what you find. And do all the steps I indicated, especially the sanding of the spindle, flywheel thrust play and servo adjustment....
I guess it depends on how one defines "serious collector". If I were to judge by others' standards, I was never a serious collector and probably...
In many cases doing a repair properly implies a bit more than just putting a new belt in. Cleaning the pulley grooves for example, lubricating the...
Judging by the buttons, the mechanism is WM-150/WM-B603 type. Look at post #18 here:...
In regard to the tone control on the TPS-L2, as others have already mentioned it does have a tone control, but that is different from the EQ...
SONY WM-EX90/GX90 - complete re-lubrication of mechanism may be necessary; check if reels turn freely. - potential problem with clutch slider,...
@brunophilipe What wow&flutter figure do you get on WFGUI ? The play you mention in the shaft (up-down play) is something I have seen in some...

I had the impression from the beginning that 3D printing is not an option: parts are not strong enough, nor precise enough in terms of dimensions....
1. There are 2 major downsides to the TPS-L2 in regard to sound: - wow&flutter is on the high side: do expect a value between 0.2% WRMS and 0.3%...
The fact that it sounded very very slow initially is a sign that there is a lot of load on the motor and it can't maintain the correct speed. Tape...
If it's the full-plastic version (you did not mention this), no, I would not replace it. But the mechanism should be disassembled and...
I would opt for a different strategy than what you are saying: 1. Disassemble the entire mechanism, clean all the shfats and the auto-stop levers...
You are 100% right ! When buttons are pressed all the way both functions work perfectly ! This is what would be more logical to do, since there...
