Violet wires go to the FG points maked on the PCB silkscreen. Polarity doesn't matter. Unfortunately WM-5 has 2 versions and only one is depicted...
Fact wires are breaking where they're soldered shouldn't be a deal breaker given the effort you already put into this project. I would cut all...
The GX670 mechanism and variations of it that exist in the entire WM-EX/GX range can obtain low figures, however this is highly dependent on motor...
What I found is the note decay is the determining factor in how audible W&F is. Piano itself can be a factor, although there are many pieces of...
Indeed 0.1% is a very good figure, especially since manual gives a 0.13% spec for this device, so tehcnically it is within spec. In my opinion if...
I would be happy with 0.3% WRMS on this particular unit. It's not a great figure, but it's ok for most genres and will only be audible with music...
For FixYourAudio depends on model, as most of his belts are 0.6mm with few exceptions like TPS-L2. As stated before, in most cases this will work...
I know some sellers sell mostly 0.6mm belts for all devices, even when original thickness was different. While that may work in many situations,...
Kenwood CP-C7/Sharp JC-K50 Main problem on these units are the 2 cracked gears, which need to be replaced. Pay careful attention, since all...
Indeed these HS-P08/G08/J08/G500 don't use the 2ME-7 mechanism (mechanical controls), but the 2ME-3/2ME-3-J (recording version). Problem...
The Japan low VHF (90-108Mhz) overlaps with FM radio (76-108Mhz). However many of the channels themselves were also the same, with only difference...
@Rocco Gillespie Can't really tell from the pic, but if the gear is cracked all the way from the middle to the teeth it must be replaced. If the...
That's a good question. From what I find it was as follows: US channels Low VHF (channels 2-6): 54-88Mhz High VHF (channels 7-13): 174-216Mhz...
@jvlobo That product look good for the job yes. Rubber Renue is good for rubber things, there's also a similar one in Europe called Nowa Guma...
Don't think the tape has any problem. Even with the pre-recorded tape the speed jumps quite a bit and it's audible. It's just that the...
Bases relative to ground, DC voltage.
Think selling viability was only one of many aspects, another being US having very high trade barriers on imported electronics from Japan in the...
The bases of Q302, as already stated. You will need at least a multimeter and some basic understanding of schematics (to make the correlations...
Sorry, seen now you mentioned this in first post also. Do you have any noise (hiss) that varies with volume level or nothing at all on the output...
In play you have a 10-15% increase in current draw, which is indeed on the high side (fact it's fluctuating is more of a problem). On FF/REW you...
