    Superbe video. I serviced electronics since the 50s and is great to see young people loving these elecromechanics. Cheers Patagonia Argentina

    While I don't own one of these I do have an old player from around 2000. It has the exact same playing mechanism as the player you have. It plays really slow so I needed to find where I could access the machanism speed screw. Thanks, this helps a lot.

    It is advertized mostly as a player. As a recorder, well... I spot a permanent magnet (blue head) for erasing, it works no doubt but playback noise level will be higher and there is no noise reduction circuitry. As engineers usually take the same oscillator for an AC erase head and for the recording bias, I would guess the recording bias is DC here which cuts in half the tape dynamics. Such cheap implementations will just reinforce people's bad opinions about cassettes🤗

    soldering iron, a replacement belt and a 3d printer for the parts that may break if you fail are everything you need^^

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chWDaAjddF0&amp;t=247">4:07</a> so it&apos;s a walkman wmf41 clone. When the time comes, these&apos;ll take the same belts. Should make it easier to repair once pried open

YouTube, with the door locked.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
