I'll start with me replacing the belt in my Sony Sports Walkman (WM-FS473) from 1998. I forgot to take pics during the swap, but eh, whatever. I couldn't for the life of me find a belt that was specced to work with this player. But I remembered https://fixyouraudio.com/ had walkman belts, buuut of course not for my player. So I got in contact with the guy behind the site. An awesome and helpful dude. We sussed out that I needed a 70mm 0.6mm square belt. I got the new belt today, installed it, and holy fuck, what a difference! It's insane how big of a difference such a small thing can make. And also impressive how bad and off music can sound with such little variation.
Anyways, here's an after-shot.
