The DIY Discman Repair Thread - Page 30

hi sorry for the delayed reply..yes i am able to manually turn the spindle  but am not sure about the cleaning and lubricating part ..i am looking up this,as well as other threads for links also but i would appreciate it if someone would redirect me to a relevant thread...

thanx again..

Hello there! I am a super junior head fi-er. Haha, well I guess to the good gritty stuff.

I bought a pari of Vsonic gr06 IEM's about 6 months ago, but within two months of using the right earphone stopped playing music, or so i thought. Recently I picked them back up in hopes that they fixed themselves..............to my amazement, I found that the right earphone was still receiving signal from whatever it was plugged into BUT the music or voices were so quiet I could not hear unless I cupped my hand over my ear. I have no experience in repairing headphones nor do I know what tools I would need. Anybody have any suggestions? I am pretty poor and nobody local (that I know of) repairs headphones. Any help would be appreciated!

Where can I get the item?

I did research but I come up with nothing.

I need a new motor or can you fix it?

I have recently purchased a Discman D-303 that I think the electrolytic caps need replacing.  Is this unit worth the repair effort?

1. how difficult is this if you know how to solder?

2. what caps should I replace them with?  any recommendations?

3. how many are there?  I've read elsewhere there are 7.

Thanks!
