I was thinking about creating a list of walkmans sharing the same internals, ie using - similar transport mechanisms, - same heads, - same audio circuitry, etc. That would be useful, when searching for parts. here is a page as a starter presenting some walkmans: http://www.petervis.com/walkmans/Vintage Walkmans.html ... maybe you are aware of some others. Please share them.
Wow. great topic. How did i miss this great topic? You should have created this topic in walkman section. I read some of the articles and fount them extremely useful. THANK YOU

This is a common problem of all above machines, and leads to fluctuating tape-speed ev. to complete auto-off all the time. Tutorial - repairing the center wheel: here
