Hi
I got this unit from Japan and whilst it was in good condition, operationally it was flawed.
After trawling YouTube for some guidance I decided to jump in. I service all my Walkman collection so am happy to say that I was only too happy to get started.
The usual stuff. New belts, pinch rollers, speed adjust, head alignment, cosmetic refresh, remove old grease, apply new grease, turntable overhaul.
However I noticed two leaky caps and wanted to ask what they serve. Both are 100uf 16volt. On the cassette play/rec board.
She’s now really singing and dancing but curious as to what purpose those two caps satisfy.
