As each P202 series board might be different I will not mark out the components and orientation for the guide, you do that yourself when you open...
Just put Naptha (Ronsonol Lighter Fluid) on a cotton bud and clean the pinch rollers with it as if you would alcohol. I usually clean it with the...
If it is in the signal path it will affect the sound in a bad way (usually). However, sometimes, if space is too tight, it might be the only...
I love the look of that Pioneer! While I like Naks and Sony ES, engineering and sound wise, Naks win it for me.
Chemicon, due to low price, great range, and they're usually very slightly smaller than the Panasonics in real life. This is due to their slightly...
Not bad, diameter is good and the length is very short. but they are non stocked models. This is what I found in 15 mins: Try these:...
I have 3 D6C, and one scratched up DC2 rescued from a flea market. In my opinion, the DC2 has a very different sound signature, very enjoyable,...
I've mentioned a few times already- it's a waste of time to mail/call them for Walkman specific parts. Mouser/element14/digikey have all the caps...
I use Software Scope by Zeitnitz, and a 10khz and 12.5khz azimuth tape to set. There is only one way to set- with a good azimuth tape and either a...
Look up my caps list, where there are numbers of cap values I recommend, take that, and x2-3 for the small (47uf and below) values. That should...

You can always substitute through hole for SMD and vice versa- bend legs to fit! This way you can save money, for example, by just buying a lot of...
P505.
Guess what? See those grey boxes on the Sony? They're usually electrolytics! You can side mount the smallest SMD caps.
usually, it's 220.
Just put Naptha on a cotton bud (Q Tip) and run it against the roller while in play mode, until the roller looks less glossy.
Make sure you get an azimuth test tape and the right software/equipment o use it. Many TCM200 Sony decks I've come across have drifted from...
I've seen this on one of my 701 type mechs before. Usually the buttons work in the same circuit by sensing resistance to know what button is...
You can try Deoxit D5, but it sounds like replacement will be the best and most reliable option.
The problem with ebay/amazon/ali felt tape is that its usually very thick, around 1mm. The Sony types are 0.3-0.5mm thick. I'd like to find a 1:1...
