Let's Fix: Sony Walkman WM-3 New Belts and Fixing the Mic

So after seeing Elliot over at The Retro Future get a TPS-L2 I wanted to see if I could find one as well (since he got it he hasn't shut up about how great it is :-P) ... then I looked at the prices on eBay ... nope! So my next options were to go for a clone or the tweaked version of the L2, the WM-3. Why get a knockoff when you can get the real McCoy? The TPS-L2 and WM-3 are practically the same with the notable exception of the color. So after a few days of checking auctions I managed to score an as is unit for $76 which is pretty good in my book as working ones seem to go for around $300. Let's see if I just blew $76 for a pretty paperweight or if I can get this guy up and running! Hopefully I will have a reason to dig my mix tapes I haven't listened to in 20 years out of the attic.
