How To Repair/Restore A Walkman That Doesn't Play Tapes

These days it's hard to beat the convenience of streaming music, having any song available near instantly, and the ability to discover new music. However, like vinyl, cassettes offer the warmth of analog and can add to the experience of listening, along with all the moving parts working together to create the experience (like driving a manual transmission vehicle.) However those parts are likely to fail over time which renders a walkman more or less useless. In this video I go over some common issues, how they can be improved, and most importantly were to find the rubber belt that runs the tape player which is usually the main reason why a walkman can't play a tape. There are many other adjustments, especially for higher end walkmans, that can/should be done but with a newer and more simplified model like this, a new belt should get it up and running to a satisfactory position.
