Oh, funny you post this, because just this week this unit started acting up. I turned it off (stand-by only, still had power the whole time) with...
[ATTACH] Got this a while back to complete my home stereo collection. Now I have a deck for all formats I own. I imported this unit from Japan...
Sorry for the very late reply, but I wanted to give an update. TLDR: This was all probably a SNAFU on my part. I remember trying to fix the...
Thank you both! I performed some cleaning as Valentin suggested, and I think it improved it somewhat, but I'm afraid it didn't help much....
Ok, after further investigation, I removed the motor assembly again and noticed the motor shaft has a significant amount of travel along the axis...
Hello! My D6C has always suffered from a little flutter, but I recently realized how bad it is because just letting the tape lid close from its...
Thank you Silver965! I haven't yet poked inside with my oscilloscope, but your suggestion gave me some ideas. It seems it is recording in Dolby-B...
Hello all. I have had this Pioneer deck for a few months and I've been using it heavily ever since I got it, and overall I really liked the audio...

Ok so quick update. I did a full run from fully-charged to cut off, playback only, with a mix of metal and chrome tapes, and the batteries lasted...
This would be perfect if a bespoke control circuit could be made. This one is large but relatively cheap. You can see the board is relatively...
The dropouts near the start and end are something I noticed even on high-quality metal tapes, and I always wondered if it was due to wear (it was...
These cells are rated at 720mAh, but are labeled 680mAh, so I'm inclined to believe that 680mAh is close to the real rating. I haven't done any...
When I purchased my WM-D6C off eBay, it was for a considerably low price, so much so that I was a bit skeptical. However it arrived safe and...
Thank you @Valentin! I have to say that after I've started to record more (and different) music to the Fox C60, it indeed didn't sound as great as...
Thank you for the explanation @Valentin ! My unit has serial number 139011, so it has the original board. The measurement was done at 330Hz....
