I realize I am very late to the party here, but it doesn't hurt to ask I suppose. Are these find DD cases still being sold?
Just to give an update: I put everything carefully together, and lo and behold, auto stop works! So even without 1 of the 4 teeth it is now...
I have three teeth on both specimens. I don't see how I would have damaged them. Maybe if like you say the center gear was a little too high, and...
Very annoying! As can be seen next to my fat finger on the image, the first tooth of the little black plastic part that should engage with the...
Aha, simply bending the metal arm down, that sounds easy enough. Will try it tomorrow!
With the help of your pictures and explanation, i think i understand what is happening. Thanks! The little black gear under the big center gear...
Unfortunately, that was not the problem. The black lever is aligned as is shown in the picture, but it still doesn't work. When the take-up real...
Yes, that's what I mean :) Thanks!
Thanks Dave, great response! Now I know what to look for. I was aware that I should align that, but maybe I missed it in the last minute. I will...

I wonder how the auto stop is supposed to work on Sony DD walkmans. After replacing the center gear, and reassembling, I am not quite sure I got...
Yes I did replace the capstar rubber ring. The sound quality issue was not due to vow/flutter, rather missing treble and sounding rather plain and...
Hey, your English is fine! Marian's repair guide should work fine, it is only the part where the actual gear is assembled that would differ, right?
I did exactly this, thank you for the advice. I used the guts from the "new walkman" together with the center gear, case and buttons from my old...
Yes, that is a good idea, but will be quite some work, also coming with some risk. But what could be the root cause of the sound issue? It just...
Thanks! Turns out my Walkman-fixing-fu wasn't as strong is I thought (see my post in Walkman tech talk...
I found my old WM-DD33 in a box and was excited to get it fixed. I bought the center gear replacement, and was able to replace the cracked gear,...
Brilliant, thank you for confirming.
Yes, exactly that gear. From reading the thread, I wasn't sure if anyone had actually tried it yet in a Sony DD, or if it was something that could...
Hi! I was just curious if you had any luck with the rewind gear replacement, or if you found some other alternative. My WM-DD33 needs a new gear,...
