As far as I can tell, it has been used very little; a gift from a business trip in Japan. The exterior is also basically mint. Anyway the...
I think i know what is wrong with mine: [ATTACH] do you see those black bands on the capstans ? I thought it was rough surface, but it is...
re-assembled, and it plays as usual - horribly. It is a lost cause.
One desperate move would be to add a drop of watch oil in the flywheel bearings, but I really do not feel comfortable removing the washers that...
Thanks for your suggestions ! The pins on the motor are all fine: I know they are delicate (as the traces on the PCB) so i try to be very quick...
Here is the RQ-SX tape transport in all its "glory" [ATTACH] I see nothing evidently wrong here, I have cleaned again the flywheels (still...
On further inspection, I noticed the direction that has lower W&F is indeed the forward direction, the one driven by the two belts ... That is...

Thanks for the advice, I'm already familiar with the RQ-SX two belts transport, I already repaired an RQ-SX25 some 6 years ago. But belts...
The RQ-SX25 has the two belts transport and with the wrong belts playing the reverse direction was really painful. Even with the right belts, the...
I would like to buy a Panasonic walkman, and i'm considering the RQ-SX series and the SX60 in particular. I had one in the past, RQ-SX25, but...
I guess it was just a way to save on manufacturing costs: the TCM-S68V has a specified frequency response up to 6.2 kHz, but to properly align the...
Actually it was not uncommon back then to use such recorder to record a university lesson for a friend and then give her/him just the recorded...
I know they are not walkman's, I know they are not very valuable, but I always had a fascination for portable voice cassette recorders. I recently...
