I couldn't see it in the manual but I'm fairly certain that red part "moving" is part of the button mechanism in which case deoxidizing the...
It would help to know what exactly moved because this walkman can have cracked gears and it sounds like this isnt electrical unless the magnet...
I had a similar experience with the F28. The only one I ever had was working perfectly with zero servicing...and it sounded better than almost any...
I tried this @dom69 and. . .it worked! I've never seen a complete play button but I tried "sodacrete" using this thread's images as reference and...
That's strange. . .two wm-(f)10 units I disassembled did not have this on the takeup reel which is probably not great for the tape tension. I...
@Valentin Did you add a piece of fabric to the inside of the reel? Currently doing a reel swap (takeup) and I managed to lose the washer..:(
Does the radio work? Valentin mentions a good point if only the cassette portion isn't working.
I would check a few things in this order: 1. Battery connection - make sure the battery is making good contact. If you have the 1.5 dc power...
Does anyone know if this button can be substituted for a WM-2 play button?
Well I took another shot at cleaning and lubricating it. I'm leaving it to run through a cassette right now though it sounds even worse than...
I took your advice Valentin and bought watch oil to lubricate the area you pointed out. Despite cleaning and what I judged to be correct placement...
@Valentin You were right about cleaning the mechanism . . . The idler only grips when you have cleaned it extremely thoroughly with a microfiber...
Thank you for this info Valentin. I'm actually looking to purchase some oil for current repairs. Would something like this...
@CoGoNYC That is a very loud F10! It wasn't completely clear but it sounded like there was some scraping in the mechanism as well a loud motor. I...
I recently picked up a cheap Sony wm-f77 that wasn't working in the hopes of being able to put it back on it's feet for a few more years. It...
I think that logic is spot on. The screw I adjusted was a grounding screw.
My dd22 has since stopped making those sounds but if I'm going to be honest, I'm not 100% why. I remember there was a screw that went through the...
I took another look inside to see if there was anything obviously wrong but it all checked out. I have very little clue how to diagnose this (do...
The sounds occur after about 30ish seconds: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I3t6rOc6zuH7uuXy6B4D8gnYAdTxwX5p/view?usp=sharing And appear mostly...
It doesn't vary with volume and strangely only occurs when there is a cassette playing (whether the cassette has anything on it or not). I even...
Separate names with a comma.
