I know some sellers sell mostly 0.6mm belts for all devices, even when original thickness was different. While that may work in many situations,...
Kenwood CP-C7/Sharp JC-K50 Main problem on these units are the 2 cracked gears, which need to be replaced. Pay careful attention, since all...
Indeed these HS-P08/G08/J08/G500 don't use the 2ME-7 mechanism (mechanical controls), but the 2ME-3/2ME-3-J (recording version). Problem...
The Japan low VHF (90-108Mhz) overlaps with FM radio (76-108Mhz). However many of the channels themselves were also the same, with only difference...
@Rocco Gillespie Can't really tell from the pic, but if the gear is cracked all the way from the middle to the teeth it must be replaced. If the...
That's a good question. From what I find it was as follows: US channels Low VHF (channels 2-6): 54-88Mhz High VHF (channels 7-13): 174-216Mhz...
@jvlobo That product look good for the job yes. Rubber Renue is good for rubber things, there's also a similar one in Europe called Nowa Guma...
Don't think the tape has any problem. Even with the pre-recorded tape the speed jumps quite a bit and it's audible. It's just that the...
Bases relative to ground, DC voltage.
Think selling viability was only one of many aspects, another being US having very high trade barriers on imported electronics from Japan in the...
The bases of Q302, as already stated. You will need at least a multimeter and some basic understanding of schematics (to make the correlations...
Sorry, seen now you mentioned this in first post also. Do you have any noise (hiss) that varies with volume level or nothing at all on the output...
In play you have a 10-15% increase in current draw, which is indeed on the high side (fact it's fluctuating is more of a problem). On FF/REW you...
There is only one leaf swich, muting is done by timing only on these units. Meaning the amps have a delay before they start. No muting in FF/REW....
This is the manual I have: https://elektrotanya.com/sony_wm-dd3.pdf/download.html As a sidenote, don't need to quote previous posts. Just type in...
It would be easier if you would post a picture with the wires that came off. Note the service manual does show where every wire goes on the PCB...
It's not that difficult to measure a spring: for compression springs you measure from end to end in regard to length. For extension springs,...
There are really only 3 other things that can cause increased W&F: 1. Worn capstan bushing. This is a common cause of increased W&F on belt drive...
Thinking about it, realise have seen the flywheel drive gear available online. EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/166988283963 There is even a thread...
There are a couple of things that can be tried to improve the W&F on REV, although success highly depends on cause: 1. Can sand the motor spindle...
