Thanks Valentin for your comments and wisdom. I'm not expecting the FM pack to work, but again this is just a hobby for me so I enjoy trying to...
I agree about the larger older Walkmans. I don’t try to go jogging with them so what difference does the size make . I bought an FM pack on EBay...
Have been playing for a while now and speed is pretty close to spot on vs streaming on line. Some W&F but honestly it sounds pretty good. Will...
This popped up on Marketplace in Minneapolis MN this morning so went and picked it up. Seller also had on EBay for lower price. When I got...
Some pics of exterior and inside compartment…
Hello Valentin, I am going to attempt to refurbish both a JVC CX-7 (without FM tuner) and a CXR7 ( has recording capability). Can you tell me...
If I’m following your issue correctly, I had a similar issue with a WM-5. Documented in the forum here. For me, ultimately it was a slightly...
One thing kind of interesting is with the UK Manual you can see some of the changes made in the later units. Newer models have a pull feature on...
Thanks for the link. I saw that one and downloaded but the copy is a bit fuzzy to interpret the schematic and mechanically looks similar the...
Just quick update I begrudgingly did clip one of the vintage cable ties as I saw no options to go further and, alas, there was another cable tie...
OK I can see from your recap thread photos that you clearly removed the 4 pin socket but it looks like your wires all go in to a clear plastic...
Just a quick pic to show where I’m getting held back. The grey wire goes to a reed switch by the transformer. That was looped around the main...
Thanks. I have the free service manual but it’s for the CF-550. Not the A version. Not exactly the same. Didn’t think to look and see if the...
Yep I can definitely post a pic in the Battery thread! Mister X are you in the Twin Cities? I don't think it was on Marketplace very long before...
Hyperscope, wondering if you remember how you were able to remove the cassette circuit board so that just one large bundle pig tail holds back....
Thanks Valentin. You were 100% correct on the belt size being the issue with mechanical engagement. I installed the belt in another (my third)...
Thanks Valentin, for the mechanical side of things, I'm going to assume belt for now as the head and lever move freely and there is really no...
Quick Note that when my center gear is not able to "lift and push to the right" the lever assembly, the motor is continuing to spin, and just...
Thanks Valentin, I did a lot of “manual” engagement without the belt and everything turns easy until the point of grabbing the lever. The motor...
Well I put everything back together easy enough and now the lever assembly does engage better but not 100%. Unfortunately now I have a new...
