Man, I just found a Walkman WM-F31 in my local charity shop. Bought a couple of belts and installed them with the help of your other videos... THEN found this video which confirmed I did everything right. The insides are near-identical! Great videos! You talk about usually doing video game stuff but it's good to see these Walkmen (Plural?) have an audience.

I have the nearly identical WM-F41with a tuner, but the player internals are cheaper, with a plastic pulley instead of brass, and the motor has no foam damping pads. I would choose your model as it probably has better playback properties once regreased and aligned.
@SiriusXAim 5 жыл бұрын
You kinds overpaid for that. But walkman prices are shooting up. I remember seeing them for about £20 or so. This is one of the first, "cheapo" walkmans, starting the post 1985 trend that I call "the cheapenning". Previous models had double flywheels, and were more rugged all throughout.

People dump on this all-plastic malaysian model (WM-31/WM-41 or WM-F31 / WM-41 or with equalizer WM-33 / WM-43 or WM-F33 / WM-F43) but in fact, consumer reports in the usa tested 25 models and this one CRUSHED all walkmans EVEN ONES FROM SONY at $100 or less! And this design-for-manufacturing model cost only $40 and could be sold in blister packs in drug stores! The high-volume and low-cost-of-assembly (only 3 screws) meant VALUE FOR MONEY! When I learned this I rushed out to buy one for every room in my house! This is a keeper! Better sound than any earlier model !!

You mIght wanna try out the WM-8 in this series of fundamentalist walkmans which runs on 4 PCS of AA batteries, outputting 35mW a channel. It will allow you to run Beyerdynamik DT990 low impedance model. I use it with my Sennheiser 414 Signature and it sounds fabulous, somehow comparable to my home decks such as Sansui SC-5300.

From all the Walkmans I have fixed (we have the same hobby) That is the most simple and easiest fix EVER! P.S.

I'm thinking about a kickstarter campaign to fund a new, smaller version of the Tps-l2, if you or anyone else thinks its a good idea, let me know... Also, a challenge for you Elliot, for your next walkman, can you try to find a sony sport WM-F73 to fix? I have two that the tape decks work, but I can't get any audio from the deck, just the radio, same issue with both. You'd be the one to figure it out! :-)

Dib Irken that's a good Idea. This is just something i've been looking into with the rising prices of original walkmans, and the recent releases of cheap boomboxs and higher-quality decks that have come to market With the intrest of tape being a format again, this is something we need. But if this was going to happen I need help, ideas, (like yours) and ultimately, a team to help design this, and start the campaign... (Any Ideas RetroFuture?)
