I understand. Didn't say electronics should be ruled out, rather not assumed it's the culprit without doing some tests. In my opinion, you first...
Doesn't matter if you use a 3000Hz or 3150Hz tape, both WFGUI and Nak T-100 support both standards. This was probably more relevant back in the...
First thing that should be checked is if you can engage the functions by rotating the mechanism by hand and actuating the solenoid by hand ?...
@Dauner Do you have a W&F measurement ? Would be interesting to see a figure. Also, why are you assuming it's an electronic fault ? I would also...
If you're not confident in disassemblying the player, maybe it's best to skip the lubrication part entirely. While this is not difficult for...
In regard to step 14, you can see in picture 17 there are 4 gears on each side + the tabel reel (which has integrated clutches). Note it's the...
Which one sounds better will have some degree of subjectivity, but in my opinion some objective statements can be made: 1. If there is a...
The difference between cassette in and without cassette current draw is too high. You should see ~18% increase with cassette in. What you have is...
Two part epoxy resin is too thick for these repairs in my opinion. Cyanoacrylate glue works just fine if the surfaces are roughened before. The...
Cyanoacrylate super-glue is what I used to glue the gear to the shaft. Roughening the metal surface with 800 grit sandpaper is a good idea to...
When the speed drops, the LED also gets dimmer ?
Let us know what you find. Electronics indeed can't be excluded, although don't think it's the most likely scenario. One possibility is head...
Yes the PCBs are the exchangable. Even if you see some minor differences, theese are revisions of the same board with no functionality change....
Symptoms of aging capacitors are different. Decreasing capacitance on the output caps would render less sub-bass, but for this to happen the...
For reference, I posted a toturial in regard to the middle pulley here:...
There are 2 distinct noises in the video: - there's a low frequency periodc gear engagement noise. This is likely caused by a gear that has become...
You stated in first post that power LED also goes out, case in which there's no reason to suspect the wires going to the motor. Rather it's a main...
Oxidized leaf switches are a common problem on these series, starting from WM-10 up until the WM-100/200 series. Many times the only solution to...
Doing more of the same and expecting different results is not a good strategy. It's more than likely not a lubrication problem. Regarding the...
Will check if I took any pics when I did this. Don't think there are any online, at least none that I've came across. And yes the service manual...
