Excellent thread @Valentin and I believe that may account for a number of people who have noted a muffled sound on playback after doing the full...
There was a discussion about tape becoming sticky over time on this forum a while back. A problem I have with a series of BBC radio broadcasts...
Or it could be just a need to demagnetise the head in the DC2. Often a muddy or less than "bright" sound indicates a dirty head or head needs...
I have bought a red DD30 from another collector in the past 2 years. It was €200 plus shipping but it was in great condition and red seems to...
Enjoyed reading all of these posts and I'm also a collector of the high end Sony Walkman and Aiwa's but not every model is worth having. As they...
I thought as much. Not going to remove the clip on my D350 to fit it to this dud D250 battery cover. Thank you @Jorge for the tip on "unobtainism"...
If you find a source please let me know. The one I have will not latch. That plastic clip has broken. It is common with other Discman models but...
You say the MD players you tested were rubbish!. Have you tested any of the HiMD recorder/players?. You can record 90 minutes of high quality...
Oh yeah. There is some residual battery level detection issue with a few of my Hi-MD players as well. If you can get the players to restart you...
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...

[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...
