Greetings all. I want to change the belts on my RQ-S60. There is a slight wobble to the sound when the player is moved. Is this a big job? Where can belts be bought for these units? I have changed belts on a few units without any problems. I just don't want to go at this thing without an idea of the difficulty of the job. Cheers!

Seems i should have put this one in walkman tech talk. Sorry about that folks!

Derek, drMR2000 did a belt change with excellent step by step photos including where to de solder pcb.

Thank you my friend. You mention the dreaded word solder? I will leave it so, i don't get on well with nasty solder

Hi Derek.
Please check your PM.
Thank you

I love solder fear. My advice on soldering is to grow two more hands.

Seems the problem with my S-60 was no more than a half flat battery. Popped a new one in and it works fine. How dumb is that? Doh!
Anyway, i got me an RQ-S80. Fully functional. And with original box. I have been after one of these for a long time. The rolls royce of portable cassette players in my eyes. Hope to have it next week. Has this model a different finish than the S-60?
