I see, it's exactly the same as the TC-D5M. Wonder why SONY did it like this, really don't like this design at all... At this point yes I think...
First potential solution is to measure the inner diameter of the belt (this is the typical measurement, not the circumference) and order the next...
I suggest trying to remove the reel instead as that might be the way to go, not removing the retainer. Removing the reel will get you access to...
One thing I can tell you for sure: you're unlikely to be able to remove that brass ring without damaging the entire assembly, it's a very tight...
Hello and welcome to the forum, @CoreyLee ! It would be helpful if you uploaded a picture and mark exactly the part you want to remove, because...
Typically, what I've seen is the plastic hub of this idler gets a bit eccentric, but after a good cleaning of all surfaces and some running they...
As a reference, the tape speed with PLL connected is typically between 2993Hz and 2997Hz. If it's less than 2990Hz that's a concern. This last...
I suggest looking at the datasheet of BA3513 I provided (specifically the schematic at page 5) and see if that resistor is part of the head...
Please share some pictures with the PCB, as we might be able to help you without the service manual. If the unit uses off-the-shelf ICs (which the...
Toshiba KT-AS1/KT-AS2/KT-VS1/KT-RS1/RT-VS3/Kenwood CP-10 These 2 walkmans are almost identical, main difference being the KT-AS2 has only 1...
That's your problem right there. W&F is way too high compared to what it should be and you have a mechanical problem. W&F with PLL disconnected...
AIWA HS-JX70/HS-RX70/HS-JX707/HS-JX707D/HS-JX3000/HS-JX3000D/HS-JX909/HS-JX828/HS-JX929/HS-PX70/HS-PX1000 These units are very similar to each...
Sanyo JJ-P101/JJ-P100/JJ-P4/MR-02 The JJ-P101 is a full logic version of the JJ-P4/MR-02 mechanism, but both types of mechanisms share the same...
SONY WM-55/WM-R55/WM-F77 Most of the repairs are related to the mechanism, on the electronics side only common problem being the headphone jack...
I realised your suspicion was towards the electronics, but it's best to eliminate any potential mechanical issue before assuming anything...
My suggestion is to start by cleaning the capstan rubber ring with IPA as it typically gets contaminated with oil from fingers or from the...
I definetely do recommend getting the unit serviced, as these walkman units (TCD-D3, TCD-D7, TCD-D8, TCD-D100) have problems with mechanism...
About cleaning the leakeage, first of all you need to remove the old ones without damaging the traces. There are a few methods of doing that,...
Ok then it means you probably have an issue with one of the buttons if it works fine with that board unplugged. Only thing I can recommend is...
I recommend doing a simple test: remove the flex cable going to the buttons PCB (see picture attached) and see if the problem persists. Also you...
