I recently started restoring old Sony Walkmans. My wife died December of 2021 and I needed a new hobby to keep my sanity I guess? I have two kids so working on the Walkmans is also "me" time. On that note, I have to date destroyed many Walkmans and at least have some spare parts. Thank you all for reading! John
Welcome to the forum and sorry for your loss. My best advice is to keep your brain busy and working on cranky old electronics, with some music playing in the background can help get through the rough times. Hopefully you have some forgotten cassettes in a box that bring back some good memories.
