    Hi, I'm Flops, An Italian man living in Belgium. I'm 19 and I love old tech.

    So, why I'm here ? It all started when my father gave me it's Walkman , ( The WM-60 ).
    It didn't work, so I tried my best to find documentation of the inside or just a guy repairing it. Guess what?
    This Walkman was around just for one year or two, so it has very little documentation.

    Now , I'm trying to repair it . I got a new belt but with all the adjustment I've done so far I can't find an solution for it . So , I'm here , trying to find some solutions (and enjoying the old tech world that I love ) .

    Welcome to the forum, your at the age a lot of us older members were first discovering portable music, those were good times, I even lugged one over to Belgium, I only had my Motley Crue Tape but it got me through a few weeks of backpacking around Europe.

    That seems to be a somewhat rare unit, it looks like a few members own it, I don't have one, hopefully someone can help you get it back working properly. Most of these will work for decades but sometimes they get dropped or batteries leak on the insides causing major damage.
