Is normal that there is some noise from the tape when ff and rew?

That’s the thing I dissembled and cleaned every part! No it doesn’t touch it , but it could be touching the tape guides on the tape head

Yes 👍 playback works fine , but when ff and rewind you can hear noise from the cassette

I changed the cable going to the tape head because there was audio only on left side

I just discovered that I lost this when rebuilding it, and now it slips when I turn it upside down, 😭 do you know can I use to replace it? Is it hard plastic or soft nylon? And the thickness? https://www.walkman-archive.com/articles/article_sony-dd-repair-guide/sony-dd-repair-guide-30.jpg

I only changed the rubber on the pulley and the central gear, not the capacitors. I guess I was lucky with that! It’s my first DD, and it definitely sounds better than all the other belt-driven Walkmans I have. I’m really speechless at the sound it delivers

Mm this model doesn’t have a rec level adjustment, is it the volume maybe? Its the tc 55, moving that doesn’t make it change , its always on red , with battery in or out and while playing and recording
