    Hello Overmodulated ,
    My side business and teaching is my main job at public school but that will all change when I retire.
    I am the third owner of a business that started operating in the 1940s since the 1980s.
    I specialize in mostly audio from the tube era to new audio gear. I have been restoring a lot of classic car radios the last one was from a 1955 Belair.
    Sincerely Richard

      Hello Richard nice to meet you, my name is John. Very interesting and a very noble job, you definitely have to have the right heart for doing what’s right for children, especially in a school setting.

      That’s awesome about your job, and how coincidental I run a business that my father started back in the late 50s.

      Cool radios to go in cool cars! Some of those old radios could be used to anchor a boat lol.

      I think the only part missing is the tape deck. The EQ is here, and my dad said the tape deck is the one that's gone missing.

    Howdy sir! I was looking for someone to help me repair my Sony Walkman WM-D6C, which has passed down from my father's hands into mine. The speed servo controller chip CX20084 has burnt out, and I have not found a way to replace it, since it is impossible to find online (Everything that came up is from China, of all places. Never trust a chip from china...) Headphone jack is also screwed. (loose traces) Thanks!

    Hi Deb!
    Every forum on the internet points to you as being the authority on repairing a WM-D6C. I was wondering if you were still available?

    The issue seems to be the little black rubber ring doesn't make proper contact when Play is engaged, so the tape gets chewed up. I'm worried I've made it worse in trying to correct it myself.

    I'm also based in the U.K.

    Cheers,
    Patrick
