All i want is everything

At least fall is here.
My favorite season.
The world seems so much better in the fall.
Cleaner.

I just tonight received my latest cassette Walkman.

A Sony model WMFX-493 released in 2000.

I have to clean the heads, test it.

The only problem, which is really not a problem is that this

particular model had a plug in remote control, 

the headphone system then plugs into the remote.

This Walkman does allow the headphones to plug directly

into the machine itself so a lack of remote is not specifically

a problem.

This is a light weight, rounded, easily transportable model,

which i plan on using as my work Walkman.

If of course it actually works?

There's always that with this Walkman obsession of mine

shit may or may not actually work.

I did make a find on Amazon.

Two BAS CAR-II Studio 353 90 minute High Bias tapes.

Made in Germany these are severely, serious high quality, 

heavy weight tapes and i am so pleased to have found them.

This weekend i will have my Repairman Jack hat on
attempting to replace the belt in one of my favorite Walkman's.
My WM-103.
I purchased this Walkman in Narita Japan in 1988.
This Walkman has slowed and pretty much stopped working.
My intent is to open it up, replace the drive belt, clean and lube it,
hoping that this will fix the play problems with it.
I so hope this works. This Walkman is not only technically huge and a favorite but
probably one of the most valuable in my collection.  

I am so truly hoping i don't screw this up.

This show is just excellent.
Can't wait for the second season.
