шикарная работа! автор молодец! купил точно такой же плеер. внешнее состояние просто супер, но внутри нет двигателя и провода все оборваны. буду пытаться восстановить.
I have a red one, too. The battery contacts were corroded worse than these. I cleaned them up to some degree. Regrettably, it isn't working. The power switch with potentiometer has a weak click when turning it on. No sound at all. It may just need cleaning. This video may have motivated me enough to give repairing it another go. Thanks!
This series ( G35MK2 / G36 / T06 / T06MK2 and so on .. ) is a bargain if someone wants a "walkman" today. The tape mechanism is sturdy, electronics without smd and the overall build quality at a high level. I have nearly all of them - including color variants - and they are usually sold cheap. Once i have them open i change all the capacitors. I check all old caps and in only two of 15 machines some were out of spec. On the other hand all SMD capacitors in the HS-PX and the older "high end" lines ( HS-P/G/J 07/08/09 ) usually went bad after decades ... and sometimes even corroded underlying traces on the boards. Long story short - i love these player and can recommend them anytime to have fun with some tapes. As always : just my 2 cents.
Hi, was wondering if you had a WM-F9. Just recently acquired one and the play works great but not the rewind or fast forward. I’m suspecting it’s a belt issue but I don’t really want to take it apart unless I have some kind of diagram or video showing what’s inside etc 😅. Really good video!
I would get some new belts they do not look like they are quality belts the ones from china are not even and make every thing sound terrible with lots of wow and flutter .in the uk i use the ebay seller that sells decktech branded belts these have all been great quality .
it's only worth it with an Extremerate case. And even then, I haven't been able to do one without something going wrong. This time, the wifi antenae snapped off after getting permanently stuck under the cartridge slot. I will just assemble it anyway with no wifi, because that's 4-5 hours of my life I won't be getting back lol.
This is an interesting answer that matches what I I've read somewhere else. A guy on a forum said to remove the capacitors and change them with 75 ohm resistors. Is this the kind of mod you're suggesting? Also, would the mod indicated in this video cause any harm to the snes?
Nice. I just got a red one which somehow has lost the tuner window. I guess it fits from the inside. I wanted one of theses as I recall seeing these in Lewis's Department Store (not to be confused with John Lewis) back when one would have cost me about three months pocket money !
Hi great vid .. I’ve watched it a few times now … I have exactly the same model but my play button presses fine but doesn’t seem to work inside the deck … does that sound like a belt too? Thanks
@@monkeysyndicatei didnt know they sold it as a re shell thats what scares me about buying a used ds lite now as you can so easily do that so i just keep mine instead still has the original batt to
This was my first Sony Walkman after having a really cheap and nasty red personal stereo (I think it was an Alba) and I still have my (now slightly worn cosmetically!) WM-33 and did a video on it's repair including the headphone jack which I managed to source a genuine Sony replacement for. It also had a noisy volume control and one of the metal strips on the ribbon cable wasn't adhered to the backing making it a very delicate job to put the whole thing back together. The hinge was also broken although the broken off part was still in the unit thankfully. It works really well but there is motor noise on very quiet passages of music. I've now bought a Toshiba KT-4046 which was my dream personal stereo to own - the one I so wanted in the day was red but this one I have now is black but it's boxed and immaculate and I can't wait to tear it down and get it working as it should; this will become my daily-driver replacing my Sony WM-FX41 which has been a great unit but is a little too new for me! Great video and thank you so much for sharing.
