Just to let everyone know, the blue split washers (1.1*2.5*0.2mm) from fixyouaudio are perfect for the capstan wheels of the EX60 model. [ATTACH]
The only thing I liked was the Sony WM-DD9 with this: [ATTACH]. I wouldn't bother looking for anything else.
Yes, I ordered both sizes. Thank you, Duey71. Currently, high-end Walkmans in decent condition are disproportionately overpriced. And buying junk...
I was restoring the tape drive mechanism and lost one of the flywheel's nylon split washer. It jumped out from under all the protection of my...
Thank you. This one has an ESR of 0.09Ω. There is another one - TPSY337K002R0040 from KYOCERA AVX. It has an ESR of 0.04Ω and a leakage current of...
I can't find a relevant researches on tantalum capacitors in audio paths. I know they are good in power circuits too. And the leakage current is...
Thank you, Valentin!
If you're talking about aluminum organic polymer (solid state) capacitors, then yes, they have more choice in package sizes of 5mm+. Also, the...
In the meantime, I'm waiting for spare parts for electronics, I have a question: Are these cotton polishing wheels suitable for polishing the tape...
Yours are measured well. I don't think we can even find 270µF in a 5mm case right now. I ordered one (6.3ZLQ270MEFC5X11, CAP ALUM 270UF 20% 6.3V...
Duey, Even if I wanted to, I can’t even come close to finding any similar capacitors from current global manufacturers. I have no idea who made...
There is only 5.00 mm under the board, at best. Well, it's going to be tough. Of course, I will have to use a capacity smaller than the original...
Original capacitors measured: (1) 200µF, 2.1 Ohm ESR, (2) 220µF, 1.8 Ohm ESR. Either way it's out of specifications (20%). For example, new...
Headphone amp output capacitors have been discontinued by all manufacturers worldwide. They are 330uF 2V, 4.3 x 12.5mm. A few closest matches I...
Thanks, Duey! I have already started the second part of the repair program: mechanical checks, replacements and lubrication. The front and back...
I put everything back together and did a listening test on known pre-recorded tapes. Verdict: everything is good now! The bass boost is almost...
Okay, I think I got about what I wanted to see in this EX-DBB feature. At least according to instrumental measurements. The final resistor value...
Yes, this is the board I'm working on. I can't promise anything yet. Still in the process of tuning. Electronic component suppliers are holding...
Oh, now I trimmed too much. MID only +0.8~1 dB: [ATTACH] MAX is about +3.5~4 dB: [ATTACH] I will have to change resistor R305 again to a value...
Last night I received new SMD resistors and capacitors in the mail. Soldered them this evening. Tomorrow morning I will take new frequency...
