I bought my WM-F80 back in 1987 for $200, it broke in half in the 90s due to a couple of drops. I bought another one and a WM-FS495 2 years ago for $35 total including shipping on eBay. I purchased a replacement band for the WM-F80 from an eBay seller in Slovakia for $8.65. I followed your instructions and now I’m listening to my old tapes from my college days again. Thanks!!!
My first and only cassette Walkman. I think I was in fifth grade when I got it. I loved it so, so much. Over the years I’ve always been on that “latest and greatest” upgrade kick but this one I never felt the need to replace. I finally put it down once I switched to CDs relatively late in 1992. That means at most I used it for five, maybe six years. If I count back five years from today that would mean I would’ve gotten it in 2018, which seems like yesterday. But when you’re a kid, five years is an eternity and I was more than happy to have this gem with me at all times.
I recently bought one of these and popped it open to see the entire belt drive had wrapped around the motor, so thank you for this video, I didn’t have a clue which way the belt drive went back on! Absolute hero!
I bought one of these back in 1987 and used it all through college and beyond. It's long gone now (wish I'd kept it when it died) but I just bought one from an eBay seller. Hopefully your video will help me get it running again!
Nice video. Brought back a lot of memories!
Thank you so much. It really helped me a lot.
Good job 👍
Got one of these WM-F77's the other day and someone had been in it before mainly because of the melted hole where the DC jack was. I had to rip it off and resolder it because someone thought a suitable repair was superglue. And of course the belt had perished anyways so I have a new one on order to replace it but at least the radio portion works.
i decided to take the entire thing apart due to speeding ahead and going for it instead of watching a video like this one. i pretty much took the front off entirety. can you provide some advice, or a video on how to get the radio tuning belt back on. I can’t find anything anywhere!
Hi, thanks for the video! I have this exact model, but I'm having issues with a ticking sound and some wow in the output. Could anyone tell me if the cam gear/shutoff lever is supposed to move back and forth? It makes this clicking sound which distorts the sound somehow, I'd love to hear any ideas, I really love this model! Thanks!
Hello. I have a Sony WM-1 with an issue. Maybe you can help. The unit will not power up via batteries unless I put a small piece of aluminum foil on the top of the batteries / underneath the battery compartment lid. Once the foil is there, the unit powers up and plays. However, the battery quickly overheat and expand - a bit dangerous. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Thanks so much! Love your videos! Extremely helpful!!
Hi so I was working on the same model and I got a new belt and it runs but for some reason it still does not want to run any ideas? The belt spins too.
hello, I just got this model on eBay but am having issues with it. whenever I play a cassette it stops after a few seconds. it seems as if one of the of the spindles isn't turning as fast as it should. Any ideas? I'm hoping I only need to change the belt
A friend gave me a WM-F80 to see if I could get the tape working, it's the belt,its very similar to yours except it has the graphic equalizer so there is a ribbon connector from the front door to the circuit board, I unplugged that ribbon connector and took out the 2 screws on the circuit board but I still cant get the circuit board up far enough to get to the belt wheels,any ideas?
i have a WM-1 from 1981. the belts run fine, but I can't seem to get any sound out of the audio jacks. Could it be something in the circuit board????
Hi, I bought a Sony wm-F80, almost the exact same model, but when I hit play I can hear a grinding noise. New belts have been put in. FF and REV work. Is there any way to fix this? If so thank you
Hii I bought a sony Walkman the newer version of the walkman,with usb port,small n slick, It's water damaged,sony refused to fix it,Is there any repair?,Btw love ur videos
How did u lift the circuit board? For me it’s halfway open. I have same model as you
Anyone know of a Walkman repair shop? I have a black Walkman WM-R2. How can you tell if it is the belt?
Be carefull and demagnetise the screwdriver before adjusting the speed 😉 just saying
