My 1998 Sony Walkman went from dead to playing after a simple belt swap
I pulled it out of a box last month and it wouldn't spin at all, just made a sad little hum. After watching a video, I opened it up and saw the old rubber drive belt had turned to goo. I ordered a new belt kit online for about $8. It took maybe 20 minutes to clean the old gunk and put the new one in. Now it runs perfectly and sounds great. Has anyone else fixed a tape player this way, or did you run into other problems?

Nice to see someone who didn't just throw it away. You've got more patience than most people.
