If the spring looks like this little coil one, you’ll need to remove the rear cover to reinstall it. Hopefully the attachment tabs haven’t broken.
Check for a break in the PCB, particularly under the center pulley. I’ve had a couple of similar Walkmans (F41 & F43) with a crack there,...
Possibly the selector switches just need a cleaning. if you’re Stateside, I probably have mechanism parts you need. Have a pic of the missing...
I just added another player to the collection - a J360! Fresh belt installed and it had one SMD cap floating around loose inside. Replaced the...
I recently picked up this Aiwa HS-J350 off the Bay. I had one already, a parts unit with corrosion issues and a torn flex cable between the board...
I found some tiny drivers in a pair of Apple (possibly knockoff?) ear buds that fit in a set of MDR-W14s that sounded pretty good.
Sounds like you have a split gear. The large table gears are prone to splitting between two teeth, with the gap resulting in the clicking sound....
Thanks, I was hoping it might have it as I have an otherwise nice D6C with a chipmunk problem, and a corroded F5.
I know this is a year-old thread, but does anyone know if this chip might be found in aWM-F5? I understand that it shares much of the DD...
I recently picked up this gorgeous red Aiwa HS-J07 in an eBay lot. The front cover and trim were loose and needed regluing. The metal front trim...
Not exactly. I used one as a reference for the other. I’d thought I could rob the volume pot from the second one to use on the first, but it had...
I've had this player for awhile now, initially acquiring it in a lot I bought a few years back when I first got back into cassettes. Its...
I just found two That’s AS: type IV metal tapes at a small antiques/flea market shop! The TDK SA-X came with them! All for $1.00!
I just repaired an AF23 this morning - similar mechanism, similar issue to yours. Turns out the pinch roller tire had been pushed up against the...
Did you lube the motor at all? Also, how’s the pinch roller? Clean and not hardened? Capstan cleaned?
I've found several of the F, FS, and FX lines that have Dolby - as a rule they always have the Dolby logo on the face. They are usually the top...
I know this thread is older, but I wanted to add some pics of my HS-J02 that I’ve begun tuning up. Needed a belt for sure, and at least one...
Thanks! I've decided to give that route a try. I've got the pieces glued back together now. I'm going to reassemble them so far as to see what...
I picked up a Sony CFD-222 dual cassette/CD player from the Thrift the other day. Battery compartment loaded with battery crumbs. Small spring...
I’ve been back into analog music now for about a year, starting with a Walkman cassette player that sort of worked. Since then I’ve acquired...
