@Flops The belt routing is not correct. It should not go over the supply reel at all. Only on the motor, idler and 2 flywheels. There is probably...
Thanks for the serial number ! If there is no clicking sound, there is no breaking in the center gear, meaning you have a full plastic gear, not a...
@CDV I put 2 pictures explaining what is happening. The idea is the middle plastic bushing (with the center hole on which the gear rotates on) and...
Just cheked the WM-3 in my collection: the belt routing is correct as its shown in pictures, however my motor turns counterclockwise. So the...
That washer doesn't look like it would fit where you put it in the picture, because the center hole is too large. If it were to sit below the...
Are you sure your motor wires are soldered correctly ? Maybe your motor is turning backwards. When belt is installed backwards, the takeup reel...
Probably no because of 3 simple reasons: 1. The original gear was molded onto the metal disc, meaning you will only be able to buy the complete...
@Marty That's a cool looking walkman. Given the capacitors on this model have leaked onto the PCB, it is likely that corrosion exists on the PCB...
@radionick Indeed you are right about the internal regulator, it comes out at pin 5 as well, I did not pay enough attention. In this case, it's...
Hello and welcome to the forum @radionick ! I had this idea before and have presented it in other threads regarding CX20084. Mine was to built it...
@Emiel Indeed, the M6060 with its car-like cassette loading mechanism. This is one of a kind and looking at all of them side by side it's not even...
Ok, so there are a couple of things that need to be cleared: 1. There are 2 types of center gears used in WM-2, one is full plastic, the other...
What multimeter do you have ? You need a multimeter capable of measuring AC voltages at 10kHz. A TrueRMS one is to be preffered as well. If meter...
Thank you for the explanation, @mihokm ! I always wondered how those gears were made at the factory, because the original plastic one seemed to be...
@mihokm Glad to see this. Added a link to your website in the first post.
Sounds to me like the internal bias adjustment should be done, as bias is not equal on both left and right channel. However, a full calibration is...
@Ethan Henning Please don't quote the previous message if your response is immediately below mine, there's not point in doing that. As for those...
WM-DD30 and WM-DD33 do not have problems with capacitors. The only ones that have the "dreaded SMD capacitors" are the DD1/DD10/DD11/DD22 (these...
@nexfero Can you share the M-1000 service manual ? Pictures are enough, a scan will be even better. It seems to be very rare and it's unlikely to...
I have not read you first post carefully. Now I understand it's a problem you only get with this specific tape. So a problem with the deck can...
