Hello all! (from New Zealand) and thanks for having me Have been browsing this forum and Tapeheads for all WM-D6C related things since getting mine a few weeks ago. Since I made an account on Tapeheads, I thought I might as well make one here too lol. I have a little experience and electronics and somewhat confident on opening up things (provided there's a manual) but these old machines are definitely something else. Will probably see me asking for advice (and most likely servicing) on my D6C soon haha. Cheers
Welcome! Make sure your using JIS Screwdrivers, they really bite into the small screws nicely. https://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/are-you-using-the-right-screwdriver-for-your-walkman-deck.5343/
Thanks for having me! I actually did buy that exact same JIS set by Vessel after reading that post a few weeks ago! It's what I've been using to open up my D6C, and they really do work on those housing screws.
My relationship with New Zealand is recently I shipped a TRC 975 to somebody over there as I sold it and then a few days ago I sold 84 TDK cassette tapes to another person in New Zealand and that's all I know right now. Good day
