One thing kind of interesting is with the UK Manual you can see some of the changes made in the later units. Newer models have a pull feature on...
Thanks for the link. I saw that one and downloaded but the copy is a bit fuzzy to interpret the schematic and mechanically looks similar the...
Just quick update I begrudgingly did clip one of the vintage cable ties as I saw no options to go further and, alas, there was another cable tie...
OK I can see from your recap thread photos that you clearly removed the 4 pin socket but it looks like your wires all go in to a clear plastic...
Just a quick pic to show where I’m getting held back. The grey wire goes to a reed switch by the transformer. That was looped around the main...
Thanks. I have the free service manual but it’s for the CF-550. Not the A version. Not exactly the same. Didn’t think to look and see if the...
Yep I can definitely post a pic in the Battery thread! Mister X are you in the Twin Cities? I don't think it was on Marketplace very long before...

Well I put everything back together easy enough and now the lever assembly does engage better but not 100%. Unfortunately now I have a new...
[ATTACH] Took things apart to this point. Everything seems extremely clean with no dried grease. All mechanical parts move freely. I even got...
Hi everyone, continuing to work on my collection of Sony WM-5's and have an interesting issue. Just want to know if this is a common problem with...
Ha! thanks for the comments and yes I did see your thread. Have to admit your concept of "first I did this, and then it sounded better, and then...
Hi everyone, was looking for a simple radio boombox to use while finishing a new detached garage for our house. Saw this on Facebook Marketplace...
Don’t see it. Bummer…
Yah if I can’t find it I can buy one and donate to the forum. I have 3 WM-5’s now. Got another today with case. None work. Motor spinning in...
Hi everyone, first time this has happened to me. I can’t find a service manual with schematic for the WM-5? I now have 2 and would like to get...
