If you really have no choice, you can find 2 Nimh (2x 1.4v) cells that fit, and modify the battery terminals to route to the external pack inputs....
I would not recommend you go down this route. There's a guy in Ebay that builds Aiwa cells that can be recharged with USB if you really want that....
...That's an easy fix. Unless you accidentally zapped an unobtanium IC with ESD discharge.
The Panasonic 2 belt SX series is one of the worst mechanisms in terms of reliability. Bad Clutches, gear made of cheese, silly rubberized...
You'll know what misaligned Dolby sounds like almost immediately, the PC202 is a rare machine that has a accurate mechanism and adjustable dolby...
One for each direction. Also, it is very common on this Aiwa series to have bad motor servo board, due to battery leakage, and the ICs sometimes...
You need a 3khz speed test tape and a software frequency counter like WFGUI to do it properly. You can do it by ear with prerecorded tape, but...
Look from the battery compartment. See the holes for the speed pots?
On some Aiwa models it should be on a daughterboard soldered 90 degrees to the mainbaord, beside the motor or battery compartment. Some auto...
WM-F5 Actually, for bang for buck, D6C?
I think this is one of the decks that really need a good set of belts to work within spec.
You may have to import the UMW if you can't find it locally. Worst case scenario, you will have to substitute with a tant. But a PX303 is worth it!
[ATTACH] ...basically almost every Walkman I own. (There's more... this is the "second grade/non working/parts" box, and there's another small...
You can always use higher voltage caps. The 6.3V/4V is the smallest available today. For the 470, I recommend measuring first. I believe the UMW...
I took a look and it turns out Mouser (where I sourced the cap from) put the wrong diameter of their website. It's actually 6.3mm. I'll correct...
Congrats on a first success! To better clean off the crud, I just scrape it off with a tiny flat screwdriver. I do not really recommend recording...
Did you clean the leakage off with baking soda paste and isopropyl alcohol? Take a picture of the board with the old caps removed. If there is...
Don't send a list to them- just search for the part numbers, and add to cart. Sometimes they give you substitute parts that are not right for...
Modern capacitors have improved reliability ratings compared to the old 80s types, when SMD caps was new. If you're worried, buy through hole caps...
Yep.
