A few days ago I posted this:
>Greetings all,
> I have a Sony WM-AF64 Walkman that has seen a bad day. I don't know how
this happened, but all of a sudden it's playing tapes at ~ 3/4 speed. The LED
power indicator reads OK and exhibits this behavior while on batteries or
plugged in to the AC adaptor.
> I called a home-town "fix-it shop" and they would have to send it away
(i.e. BIG money to fix). I can buy the tech manual for $30-40 but I was
wondering if someone out in net-land has any experience with this particular
model and/or is willing to send me a copy of the point-to-point schematic
diagram for this little guy.
> It seems to be a problem with the power supply to the DC motor but without
a diagram, I'm a little lost dealing with all those tiny, surface-mount
components. Also, do these things you striaght DC motors or some sort of
servo motor? I am studyiny electrical engineering so feel free to be as
technical as you wish.

> Any help would be apprecicated,
What I forgot to say was that I had *already* looked inside of it and already
tried to adjust the speed potentiometer...it couldn't quite get it up to
speed...
any suggestions?
