I recently got an amazing deal on a D6C, that included a fully working, very good condition unit, the leather case in (frankly) good condition, an original 6V Sony power brick, a leather pouch that carries additional batteries and also the optional Sony BP-23 battery pack ! (I don't have it with me, as I plan on trashing it, being basically 4 old leaking rechargeable double A's in a plastic carriage.). I managed to bargain 100€ of the price, and got all of this for 250€, which is, in my books, a pretty good deal. Here is a picture of the whole set first. I never got such high fidelity sound from a tape, and I still cannot believe how good it sounds, even without Dr Walkman's Super-D6C upgrades. There is barely even a scratch on the actual unit as you'll see here. Linear volume pot track is very clean. Not a crack or scratch on the back either. The only bugging thing here is the Dolby logo at 0VU that is a little bit worn. Here's some more close-ups. The side with the mic attenuator and manual level. Speed accuracy warranty! And the top once again. "Stereo Cassette-Corder WM-D6C' Thank you for reading!
If one has Big Hands, as our beloved President, for such folks D6 is a hand-held Nice score, Congrats!!! I paid even less for my boxed WM-D6 last year, but I had a lot of help from the folks here: @Boodokhan found it for me and posted at "the best Walkman deals" thread and @Deb64 post on how to fix fried chip (at tapeheads forum) saved its life! new rubber from @mihokm is a must, and it takes just a few minutes to install!!
Thanks for the mentions Jorge. I'm working on restoring 2 WM-D6s at the moment. One is an immaculate example which I'm repairing for a customer. The other unit, which I bought from Ebay, has had a very interesting life. I may do a separate write up on that. @flash_the_84 you have a very nice WM-D6C there for a very good price. I have also posted my fix for the WM-D6 CP602 Servo Circuit Unit here on Stereo2Go: http://www.stereo2go.com/forums/thr...fast-repair-of-cp602-servo-circuit-unit.1853/
