- A short tutorial on how to replace the belts in my original TPS-L2 Sony Walkman.
I used:
Flathead screwdriver
Philips screwdriver
Bent paperclip
Alcohol and q-tips
Belts were purchased at www.turntablene...
A big thanks to The Arc Thrift stores for carrying retro stuffs and not hoarding it for online only sales Cough GOODWILL Cough
It's always best to have someone comfortable with electronics perform any repairs. Any repairs made yourself are at your own risk. This tutorial may not cover every scenario for your personal Walkman, it is specific to my Walkman (in fact, most have a piece not mentioned in my video along the spine). Thanks for watching! :D
Just got a TPS-L2, and it's gonna be my first time in replacing the belts. I'm so worried about the wires in the main board. Wish me luck, guys!
Edit: I was able to fix it! And it sounds FANTASTIC!
Picked mine up at a flea market for $10 about fifteen years ago not working for having bad belts and used your video to get it running again, cheers!
I picked one up today for 5€, super happy! The machine looks like new but the wheels won't turn, so I guess it's the belt. Will attempt to repair it with your tutorial, thank you.
The awesome mix in the background makes it
Better
Thank for your clear and very funny explanation. It was absolutely usefull to repair my TPS-L2, and very easy to follow.
"75 to 100 bucks" uhhhh you mean 750 to 1,000
Lmao yep that stands to this day. Only there’s ones going for $2,000-$4,000.
@@therestorationofdrwho1865 Its going going..... but not gone. You can still get one for 400 - 500. Thats still fa from the 75 100 though..
You have a fantastic teaching ability! Thank you! I followed your instructions following step by step. All went well and replaced the belts. I hit play but nothing turns. The motor does spin but no movement on the pulleys.
Can you suggest what my next troubleshooting steps would be?
Hello great video but don’t understand if power goes on but wheel lecture don’t turn that’s needs belt replacement that’s right? Thanks you for reply!
Perfect tutorial 🙌
Not a bad idea to lube the motor bearing(s) while you're in there (IF you know how to do it without getting oil everywhere it doesn't belong).
Hello, Thanks a lot for your help with this very good video. I have changed the belts easily but...the button "power" don't stay down. I can't block it... Do you have another video with "how to repair the on/of button. Thanks a lot for taking time to read me. Salutations. Mimi
This is an outstanding, welcome, demonstration. thank you.
When replacing the screw underneath the green circuit board and a red wire came off the blue cylinder next to the batteries and it no longer turns on
I cant believe I fucked this up
ALGUIEN SABE COMO SE PIDEN LAS DOS CORREAS MM PARA REMPLAZAR PORFAVOR????
Sekarang up lagi walkman
I purchased the first Sony Walkman available in NY. Summer 1980. The power goes on but the wheels don't turn. I'm thinking it's the belts. How can I find a place to order new parts for it so I can repair it? Thanks.
Fantastic help, thanks!
do you have the measurements of the belts?
The belts I bought for mine are 5.2 inches and 4.4 inches. You can also find them at turntableneedles.com, just click on the "get my parts" button and select your player model from the list and it should give you all the parts they have for it
Que medidas traen las Correas
Exellent!!!
what does it sound like? Are the newer models better?
The newer models are better, but the TPS-L2 is the first ever Walkman so on top of being hella expansive and great bragging rights it was also used in the guardians of the galaxy movie
@@harleyokeefe5193 I wish i had known about that model before the movie was made. The movie probably added a lot more value.
@@alcoholisfreedrink the movie absolutely exploded the value before you could probably pick one up for $200 now the cheapest ones are like $600-700 good working condition
@@harleyokeefe5193 Non working one in somewhat acceptable condition is at least 350. I prefer to buy walkmans that aren't serviced by others as i have had bad experience.
@@alcoholisfreedrink really? Well I brought a refurbished TPS L2 for $800 and it works great
What kind of screwdriver did you?
Legacys Infinity I found that an eyeglass repair kit worked well for the tiny screws here, though I'm not sure exactly what size it was
He said in the video a Philips Flathead
They're called Precision screwdrivers used for very small screws like in the Walkman you can find a set of precision screwdrivers cheap at any major convenience store
where on the site were you able to find the belts?
Tim Drake I utilized the search option and just typed in "tps-L2". You will need both of the belts in the search results
Tim Drake that's the belts at sizes 4.4 & 5.2
