There should be no problem getting 10-12 hours out of the gumsticks on cassette Walkman. Entirely different story on MD Walkman. I have tried...
Ha. I thought these would be way over spec but my search did not find any 4V ones. They are less expensive too so I will order from the eBay...
[ATTACH] @Jorge I have looked around for the Black Gate electrolytics but they seem hard to find. The closest I got to the spec was a 220uf 100V...
Ah. Thanks @Jorge. Great tips. I'll check a source for those 200uf Black Gate caps. Always use batteries in my Discmen even the D350 with a 3D...
Updated. Purchased the D250 as it looks very clean and was cheap. My electronics engineer tech contact should be able to get it up and running and...
Recently replaced belts on a pair of WM-EX677 Walkman. Very simple belt path and no desoldering necessary. WM-674 is similar. These are becoming...
Well wasn't actually that fast to download under SonicStage on your PC but Atrac is a nice compression technology and Sony spent a lot developing...
Looks like this is the gear referred to by @Jorge and many thanks @Valentin for that guide on how to dismantle the D250. Part ordered still...
There is no evidence of lubrication and given the proximity to the Laser lense I doubt any could be used. It seems yet another case of plastic...
Thanks @Jorge. Sounds like they are worth the effort. Could even be that middle gear issue. I'll study the tutorial @Valentin. Regards B
Thinking of acquiring a D250 so the go to guy to ask is @Jorge I know this Discman is rated as a top sounding example. If you come across a...
I haven't decided how best to fix the problem if it is indeed the effect of gravity long term on that plastic guide that is part of the Laser...
Of course. I tend to forget about those production years after the field recording equipment went digital in 1994 with the MZ-R30 replacing the...
Well. Probably better to see what else is around. €300 for that one which may have had other issues is probably a risk I wouldn't take. As you...
A reseller probably will have a default margin on anything they sell or stock to sell on consignment. Usually hard to get much of a discount from...
Interestingly I purchased a bottle of pinch roller cleaning and conditioning fluid some years ago which I suspect is largely isopropyl alcohol...
Love all that Electronics Australia review material. Takes me back to the 1960's building my first valve amps from an EA mag project. Thanks for...
Recently acquired an MZ-R50 Walkman for $42 as a donor for parts. Described as working by the seller but I find that a broad claim when buying ex...
Hi. That looks like its been left in the sun possibly in a car in hot weather. The speed and vibration issues may indicate a problem with the...
Good point because the Japanese AC adaptors are 120VAC also and often not the later variable input 110-220VAC. Putting them into a 220VAC wall...
