Going to need a new set of capacitors mostly the 220uf 4v and to clean pulleys and transport, due to oxidation and corrosion, ribbon cable to door is in good shape so no broken connections.

With some of capacitors remove, you can see the leakage on one of them.

Good to see my aiwa in such good hands....it will always suprize me how you guys have such skill....thank you sir for bringing this one back to life

Before and after cleaning the pulleys for ultrasonic bath, as it needed it.

Before

After

Replaced the missing washers

After reinstalling the board, did had to replace ribbon cable to servo motor as logic was not engaging relay at times to switch modes, as IC was fine, but no power to relay, tested it and found cable to be problem, now works, also had to change the belt as someone install one way to small. If you look at picture you will see, you will see original size belt to the smaller one.

Yes "radio raheem" did cover the hole by the head

I wish to Apologize to jullian and clear his good name.....long story short....the new washers that me and retrodos had placed on the walkman....wich were origional have come off(one of them ) this is a fault that the lion could not forsee...or me(and it's not down to me cleaning it eather) so with this in mind...i wish to apologize to the Lion(jullian) my other px101 works perfect....so my conclusion...is that it's a fault with the walkman that nobody could forsee or do anything about...i apologize sincearly julian and wish you all the best...kind regards reno time to moove on

No problemo!

Paul, you'd better take detailed pics of it before you send it to Reno

Sorry, couldn't resist it.

Reno, thanks for putting this to rest, it takes balls to do this.  Much appreciated.

Don't chuck the PX10 in the trash. Stick it on e-bay for parts.

Well im glad to say...after over 30 hrs working on this walkman....it's working perfect...dispite being in the bin at one point....let's just hope the washers don't come of again....all i need is the silver one to complete the trio....and then show them off with my new camera wich i swapped for a laptop i had lying around....not sure if the camera is high spec but it's a panasonic lumix--fz45....quite an amazing bit of kit for a newbee camera user like me...it has options galore...love it
