Looking at the service manual, I see this motor a slim-type and it has an integrated governor. If you can provide pics of front and back of the...
Some motors are louder than others. If both the top and bottom bearings have been properly lubricated and the buzzing noise persists, it's likely...
Don't think there is a capacitor kit available for this particular walkman, you'll have to source the parts yourself from a components distributor...
I would start by removing the leaky SMD electrolytic capacitors, clean the PCB, check traces and vias (repair if necessary) and then install new...
There's no such thing as a 0% tolerance, that's an error in the service manual. Seen errors in SONY service manuals before. Generally speaking,...
