They also do Discman. I think they repair units sent by customers rather than buying units and refurbishing them for resale. It's unclear if they...
In case this hasn't been linked on stereo2go before, here's a blogger in South Korea who has repaired hundreds of Walkmen and posts brief humorous...
I've worn these Casio Databank watches since they came out. Still do. I use the special features all the time. (Pun intended) Interestingly it's...
To buy from Goofish you need to join an intermediary such as Superbuy. There is ample messing around to actually do the setup and complete...
Just an update. I went over everything in the Logic section of the main board, poking and prodding and pressuring each component while doing...
I'll do another round of poking and prodding while activating the ffwd and frwd switches. Ffwd and frwd halt after a short time, and the time to...
The problem with locating cracks in the traces is mainly a physical matter. The transistors and diodes are on one side of the board, and the...
Q110 gives the same readings on the main board in my donor unit when it is powered up, as on the malfunctioning unit. But Q118 gives 2.9, 2.9 on...
Results of testing the transistors: Q107 NPN, BE: 0.68, BC: 0.6 Q108 NPN, BE: 2.5, BC: 2.5 Q109 NPN, BE: 0.72, BC: 0.72 *Q110 NPN, BE: 0.46, BC:...
Ok, I've done the R173 -> Q111 check, and the diode testing. I hope my annotation makes sense. R173 -> Q111 0.013v Play not engaged 2.7v with...
You might have to look up a service manual to locate them.
A bad sensor makes sense as a culprit for the symptoms. The substitute not-known-good sensor had no effect, with a tape loaded. I don't want to...
I loaded a tape and tested again. The strobe wheel does indeed turn in all operations. So much of what I just wrote is garbage. With or without a...
(this post is rife with errors. The strobe gear operates in both directions when a tape is loaded.) To explore this further... I just checked to...
HS-J36/360 use the same motor board and are a lot cheaper.
[ATTACH] These were the best match I could find. The electrical specs match and the sound is excellent. I can't tell the sound from the originals....
Thank you for the assistance. I believe the sensor was replaced when I swapped in the motor from a different unit. I also tested by cold-soaking...
I'm at the point where I need to seek help. I've fixed many problems with this unit and hope this is the last. I bought it cheap and I think it...
I'm not familiar with the mechanism in the HS-G370. If you can run the player with the motor exposed, you could press on the pulley a bit to see...
I have a set of Aiwa HP-M11 earphones with one side dead. I verified it was not a wiring problem. I disassembled it as much as I could without...
