    I was inspired by many other members here on S2Go.

    Sometimes it is not easy to find out some details of Walkmans, as the service manual is nowhere to be found:
    for example the WM-EX911 thread by @RTB in which I suggested a tape mechanism similarity with the EX511 (based on that service manual).
    Other times, a model has many different variants that are not documented yet:
    like the WM-2 thread by @JUAN ANDRES MONTIEL DIEZ and findings from @Valentin in it.
    Other examples are the clutch problem @Valentin posted about recently.

    To not lose oversight of all these details, I decided to start with the overview included below.
    It took me a while to log some of these findings.

    Now I am now looking for active contributors to a) update existing information, and b) insert new Walkmans!
    I could use help too with how to integrate details from the common problems thread and/or repair tutorials thread, even if just links to the right threads per (group of) Walkman(s).
    The source file includes - besides the overview - 1 sheet per Walkman.
    It is available on Microsoft 365 for online editing.
    Please send me a private message if you would like to contribute!

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the likes so far! Let me know what I need to do to make contributing more interesting.
    Would we need a static page/thread here on S2Go to link appropriate information to specific models or ranges? Anything else?

    I can't read the photo, can you do a larger version?

    It looks like great stuff and you put a lot of work into it.

    Thanks for the feedback :)
    The larger version can be opened in the pop-up, show original: http://stereo2go.com/forums/attachments/2021-12-sony-model-mapping-draft-png.33108/
    Still not original resolution, and a bit outdated since a few changes have been made to the source file..
