Your Aiwa is screaming/bad sound/distortion because the old electrolytic capacitors are bad, and need to be replaced. It has nothing to do with...
Thanks for the inspiration! The Aiwas are fine with 2.4-3.0v.
It's very easy to replace the caps in this model. On one of my copies the old caps were going out, on the other it was still ok, but I did it anyway.
I bought my DD9 in that condition as well. clean off the old rubber properly and you'll be fine. You may need to sand the surface of the new...
That means the unit is unable to properly reset logic state due to mechanical issues. Other than belts the capstan tires go soft and stop proper...
I'd recommend getting a smart charger. Far more convenient and fast. I use the Sony BC-9HA. You can also solder a gumstick holder to a modern...
That FX491 motor is unlikey to be compatible. Your best bet is to find another WM-170/2091/2097 series with a good motor.
Very unlikely for bad caps to cause motor shut off- your problem is elsewhere.
According to the experts at tapeheads, metal head wear was just a myth- it does have some truth to it, but in the end, it's a non issue.
I know precisely why this happens: if you disassemble the motor, the motor core has either cracked, corroded, or exploded all over the place....
Usually, no. Good machines compensate for lower voltage, until the battery gets very low.
usually it's just equalization. Machines with no "metal/cro2" switch are either very cheap or very old.
Channel out is usually a bad radio/tape switch, not capacitors. Radio is usually due to alignment of some sort. Random replacement of parts...
nope, ceramics and films rarely need replacement. All out electrolytic replacements are only applicable to walkmans, as there are relatively few,...
Other than that, might be worth it to check the flex cable to the radio section on the lid for continuity. Been a while since I've poked in one of...
I'd love to try your replacement gear, David! Looks great. Is it resin cast? 68mm belt 0.8mm thickness or thinner will work, but mikholm's belts...
No azimuth would never cause this problem. You need to verify where the signal is being lost. Use a multimeter to check continuity from the...
Check the resistance of the vol pot, compare both channels. Check the head wires for continuity. They sometimes break.
DD in the Sony Walkman's case stands for Disc Drive. It is a rim type drive. There is a Direct Drive walkman- Panasonic RX-s40/41. It does sense...
I do not see any major issues. This might be either really easy for tough... Try the following first: 1. Does slightly bending/flexing the board...
