Recently I have bought a few Sony walkmen, the WM-F2085 sounds good for a plastic machine, needed a replacement belt. That took only about 10...
Oh well, dug both of them out today, the amp on the spares machine was still working but now the cassette is playing up, keeps going to sleep when...

I don't know your mechanism, however I have had to fix a JVC PC55l with a similar problem, the head had been knocked well out of alignment on the...
I suppose it could be worse, being a passive unit there is no coil or magnet to worry about, although with 160 watts RMS these can move a long way...
I hope I can get a bit of advice, not for one of my portable devices but for a speaker, in one of my Celestion Ditton 662 speakers one of the...
