I followed the wires from the head to a plug/socket, managed to prize it off, and used my multimeter to test resistance - both were about 200ohms,...
Yeah, I have a multimeter (Fluke 79III), but I'm hesitant since they usually involve putting a voltage across the wire, and I don't know enough...
Ha. Congratulations. I imagine that is quite satisfying :) So, I wonder if there is a way to test if it is broken...perhaps I could join the top...
Hi again...some time has elapsed, but I'm now back home in the UK where I have a big bottle of IPA and contact cleaner (deoxit), and have given...
Here are the gears on the top side: http://maxw.fastmail.co.uk.user.fm/aiwa-sd-l10-repair/#single:IMG_20250719_183329.jpg...
Yes, those are the things...mine on the top/cassette side are gears, not tyres. I guess you can see the underside here, just under the word...
OK, well that did improve things enormously...ie it now plays, for some definition of 'play'. I've not plugged it into any amp, yet, so I don't...
Ah, brilliant. I'll have to wait until next weekend to try it, but it all looks pretty much the same, so you're surely correct :D I'll update on...
Nice, thanks. My main thread is here: https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1707757#post1707757 (I think people there have lost...
I can't help with your problem, I fear, but you might be able to help with mine...if you're open to me pinging you a question? I think the...
Has anyone seen a video (or even photos) of the inside of the SD-L10 (the cassette deck for the M-101) - or perhaps even one of the models higher...
I have the repair manual for the M-101 set, which included the RB10. It also says NP4-6, but I don't have mine to hand right now (only the...
I suspect the same - ie it's mostly the same, especially the belts and probably the keys too - so maybe I will pick up the parts and have a go....
I received my M-101 today - the "Carryin' Compo" - and am very happy with it. I used to have one in the '80s, but sold it (doh!). But this one,...
I noticed he mentioned about the individual power cords, which I consider a benefit, but I get his point about being contrary to the micro aspect...
What is the "walkman" he's using here: [ATTACH] [MEDIA]
How where those items different to what was available elsewhere? ...or where the ones designed in the USA actually made for sale worldwide? I...
That's very interesting. It makes me wonder, though, what exactly does a 'Made in the UK' sticker on one of these actually make me think is going...
Yeah, I had read that the belts are a pita to replace, but I'm up for a challenge. Do you know of any guides on how to do it? Perhaps I can also...
I had one of those back in the early '80s, but sold it in the late '80s - because I wanted a more 'mature' set up, ie a rack system with...
