    Hi everyone! Looking for advice / ideas...
    I have a Sony WM-F43 in good condition, nice 3 band EQ and all. But it suffers from a TERRIBLY loud motor growl. Any idea on how to improve or is the motor slowly dying and I should just put it out if it's misery?? :( looking at the unit closely - replacing the motor seems way out of my wheelhouse of repairs! Haha

    Thanks a lot for any info. Love this site and reading all the forums!!

    Have you tried a drop of oil on the motor bearing? Usually works for me
