Sanyo M-GR59 USA Personal Stereo Unboxing, Test & Service. Belt Removal. Vintage Walkman Repair

Hi Folks,
Here's a show & tell look around a lovely old Sanyo M-GR59 radio cassette player. This one is a different design to the UK spec - it was available in the USA and possibly elsewhere.
Just a short and simple video - I test it out, open it up and show how to service the unit.
Thanks very much for watching. If you enjoyed the video and would like to help support the channel with repairs, materials and continual improvement, please make a 1-off donation via the link below (no subscription or strings attached!) - thanks so much!

I always enjoy your videos. You seem like you enjoy working on these old Walkmans as well. I’ve started working on some myself, and I have done a few Sanyos after seeing you working on them.

Great video as ever. I am a massive fan of Sanyo units. Have you ever done, or considered doing, a video showing recapping, including where to source them etc please?

Hi Steve,
Thanks as always for watching 👍Funnily enough, I have recently re-capped a Hitachi boombox, which had all 62 electrolytic caps replaced. No one more surprised than me when it still worked 😂 I'll be editing the video soon, as the project itself was huge. That being said, I might make one on a simpler unit, to see if it is worth it - maybe a personal stereo. Test before and after etc. An interesting thought. Thanks again!

I had this Walkman many years ago, but already out of order and thrown away.

Thanks for watching. I hope it bought back happy memories.
