    Hi
    Only recently discovered this forum, and have already obtained some great information . I have loads of "stuff" accumulated over the years, including vinyl albums, 45s, 78s, cds, minidisc & cassettes. Of course I have to have the equipment to play these different forms of media, so have turntables,,cd players, 8 portable minidisc machines, cassette decks and 4 portable cassette machines. Cassette portables bought over the years are, Sony wd3 & wm101, panasonic rq p255 & aiwa hs p05. I have today resurrected the panasonic portable cassette player using info from this forum and youtube sources!

    Welcome! If you can tolorate doing repairs, vintage audio is a great hobby.

    Hi
    Really nice comment. I intend to have a go at beginner repairs, belts etc, but anything else to the professionals or experienced!

    Most are pretty easy and need basic repairs, outside of crappy plastic gears a lot of this equipment will run a long time.

    Thanks for advice. Will attempt repair on sony wm101 & aiwa, but think I will leave sony wm3 to someone else. Btw really like forum and wish I had found it earlier.
