FAQs
Q) Why two intros?
A) One is an intro, and the other is a like this
Q) Why don’t they use 3D Printing to create a new centre gear for the DD walkman range
A) Too thin, too weak - not possible. Check the forums linked above for more info.
Corrections
1) The WM-EX900 does have limited functionality without a remote. The machine has a single button that you can tap once to play or stop. Double-tap to FF, Triple Tap to REW and hold to play the other side.
2) The new brass centre gear for the DD range is a prototype - the finished version will be plastic.
