Beltin’ - Fixing the S2 Walkman
Added 2024-04-28 09:40:05 +0000 UTCIn this conclusion to the award winning and critically acclaimed Sports Walkman video trilogy - I attempt to repair my WM-FS555 S2 personal stereo cassette player. An edge of your seat thriller you won’t want to miss.

Incidentally, the word Beltin’ seems peculiar to my part of the UK. It's used as a synonym for an enthusiastic ‘good’. As in ‘I had meat pie and chips for tea, it was beltin’. However on this occasion it might also refer to the fix for this Walkman...as in, 'it needed a new...'
Take care and enjoy whatever remains of your weekend.
UPDATE: Shortened the video by a minute by taking out an unpopular scuff removal section. The updated video is the one embedded and linked to above.

2024-05-03 09:51:25 +0000 UTCGreat episode again! When working on mine, instead of desoldering the motor wires (and reading the service manual, like a smart person should have done), I removed the tape head's plastic bracket, which is held by two screws. It was probably reckless of me to do, but fortunately the bracket fits in snugly and playback is unaffected to my ear. Great little machine! Now I just have to fix the auto-reverse that tends to enter an endless forward/reverse loop.

2024-04-30 16:04:15 +0000 UTCGood fix Mat, well done. Q: You mentioned that one model had headphones (over the ear type) what if any did the other models have? I got the impression the were none???
