I bought this DAP when I was in middle school (Currently in Uni final year) but haven’t use it much. So I decided to give it a spin as a change of pace from streaming.

Xteink 3x + Sony nw-a45: Nothing like finding peace and comfort from reading a good book and listening to some LoFi music with no notifications/distractions to disturb my groove. Happy Wednesday good people and Live Well!!!

as the title says, my EX511 is struggling with FFW and REW altogether, it grinds the gears and just cant get into motion. What can i do to fix it? Oddly enough the playback speed or playback overall isnt affected by it

I'm looking to purchase a new motor for my Walkman (WM-31) and the motor model installed is NBL22. Unfortunately on Sparesforsony it is listed as £80. However the website also states that the NBL12R can fit and is at a much more reasonable price of £26. My question is what are the differences between the 2 as i cant find any documentation about the NBL12R

hi all,

put battery in this ex674, the motor was spinning for awhile then stopped. but no sign of movement when i pressed playback, FW and RWD. but the red light ON for function.

Any clue or input? cleaned and lubed the capstan, new belt and pinch rollers. no idea what’s going wrong with it. please advise 😞

Hello. I have a vintage Sony Walkman WM-EX500. Whenever I press play, fast-forward or rewind, it beeps and switches off. I have tested it with a new AA alkaline battery and several cassettes.

I understand that it is an older, out-of-warranty product, but I cannot currently afford a commercial repair here in London as they cost over £60.

Really cannot afford a repair, but the walkman itself is quite precious to me and I'd love to hear it once again as it belonged to someone that has now passed away.
