I am looking for those feet myself and could not find anything appropriate to date, the closest I bought from aliexpress are 5.5mm diameter (those...
It's likely hard to find a new one by that SONY original part number. I would rather look for what other units use a similar type pinch roller,...
Yes, there are such adapters available, like this one:...
@Kili1234 I suggest creating a separate thread for the AIWA HS-PX310, as it is less likely you'll get an answer here, because of the keywords used...
Very informative @Xjmczar ! This thread should become sticky, as so many SONY walkmans use this motor or a similar one without the FG coil (which...
@brunophilipe You motivated me to do some comparisons between the FOX and a few other NOS TYPE Is. The initial subjective impression on the RTM...
Very useful information about the motor, @Xjmczar ! This is a very good reference for repairing the MNF-1600B motor. Some pictures would also be...
@Xjmczar I've looked at the TCM-600 schematic and noticed the servo circuit is nearly identical to the one used in TPS-L2/WM-3 (uses the same...
I think the wow&flutter figure you got is the typical one, all the TPS-L2/WM-3s I repaired are in that ballpark after a complete service:...
Given what you say, it's clear that you have enough experience and skills to repair such a walkman properly. Although the walkman is one of the...
That's a very interesting topic indeed ! Congratulations for doing it ! From what I can see in the video, the back bearing is impossible to oil...
Some service manuals are not to be found for free. Some can only be found in printed format, I've bought a couple of these myself to find...
Cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol to clean and oil/white lithium grease for lubricating. Oil is the better option, because it's much lighter and...
Much time has passed and I forgot about the carbon printed resistors in the preamp circuit. Those could also cause a very low volume if the...
I'm glad you made it work again ! Maybe the fact that the roller assy is thinner on the WM-2 is part of why it bent in the first place, so putting...
Really low volume from one channel is very likely caused by the output decoupling capacitor going very low in value (like 100nF). The leakeage may...
So by what you describe, I understand that the mechanism does not engage correctly, it gets somewhere in between the modes, blocking both table...
From your description it seems the supply reel is stuck and cannot rotate freely. Does the unit run differently in reverse ? I'm not familiar...
Very good point, @Deb64 ! From the angle you took the picture it is very clear how the spring needs to routed.
Ok, so given the 330Hz test frequency the EQ modules are to be excluded. Your serial number indicates one of the older D6C (I have seen failed...
Separate names with a comma.
