I simply took off the lid and tried to poke out just the roller (not the whole assembly). The washer is only to remove the assembly itself, but...
How do you go about removing the pinch roller on these? I've done repairs on a number of these smaller walkmans, and I know you have to pop the...
Thanks, 10 hours a week is pretty light though compared to 10 hours a day lol
WM-150 :)
Oh I definitely do, pretty much using it as my primary music source all day while I work, hence the question. I spent a lot of time and effort in...
Is there anything wrong with playing a walkman for up to 10 hours a day, every day? As long as the motor is kept lubricated every so often? Not...
Sure, here it is: [ATTACH]
Yeah 100%... the only explanation I have is that someone changed the sticker or something but doesn't make sense or look like it was ever removed....
I got a weird one, my D6C has the regular non-pointy 35711 head and the old through-hole PCB, but the serial number is 651xxx..... :areyousure:
Can you take a video of the mechanism playing and then stopping itself? You can get it to play by pushing the black plunger switch on the flip...
Would be interested in a WM-150 if you have!
Before adjusting the capstan/bearing, I was getting 3080 Hz fwd and 3200 Hz rev on a 3150 Hz signal. Now it's 3100 Hz fwd and 3125 Hz rev. Small...
So I decided to remove the FWD capstan entirely and swap the bearing, added a touch of lube there as well. I think that has made some improvement,...
Just the one clutch so wouldn't be that. I'm just wondering though if there was gear wear, would that actually impact playback speed? Since the...
The motor doesn't change direction, it always rotates the same way. I did some oiling and further cleaning of the entire transports. Oiled the...
I oliled all the gear shafts, rewinded/fwd a few times, but no change :( Tried across multiple tapes. FWD is still slower than REV. On a...
Thanks for the suggestions. It's definitely not the tape because it's happening on all tapes. I didn't oil things yet, so I'll take a look at the...
I do still have one small issue with the unit though - the FWD direction plays a bit slower than the REV. Any advice/ideas on this would be...
Sure, this one here: [ATTACH]
So I've always wanted one of these just because of how pretty they are, despite reading about the issues plaguing the clutch gear in these models....
