OT self-hijack: I don't have a lot of experience with Philips electronics (although I was friends with a hi-fi dealer back in the '80s who...
Thanks, Longman. I'll peruse the thread. The ones I'm seeing on ebay (okay, EVERYTHING I'm seeing on eBay) now looks pretty hyper-inflated....
They sold out of the one I actually ordered, and just substituted what they had. I checked the order stats, btw. Caveat Emptor, at least for...
...as opposed to "two speaker mono" in headphones? I'm seeing the Sangean DT-180, which is perfect-just more expensive than I was hoping to find....
In mainstream audio, there was a phrase ("BPC") that organically transpired in a number of groups I was in at the time. It was accurate as far as...
Sony coolness! I have something similar for my Pioneer/Carver/Sunfire home gear, but I keep most of my portable gear in small protective...
Hey! I just got here. I was told being fashionably late was a sure sign of small analog form factor, coefficient of hipness. (I think I was...
I think my D8's issue is a tape transport, frozen/sluggish lubricant issue. Not meaning to hijack the thread, but it is it's own type of...

Thanks for that link! I'll put together another set from your specifications. Another very weird thing about the first (gold print) machine is...
Thanks, gmac34! I'll take a look as soon as I can get back to it. In the meantime I did find a fairly reasonably priced second 430. What...
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Nothing's fixed yet. The only news is the motor tested good. One less thing. It still seems like part of...
Thanks for the link! I think I have some of the same stuff. If it's bad for the environment, my experience has been that it works 100% better...
Thanks for those links and the advice, Mister X and Valentin! The startup back tension loop appears to be the only symptom and everything I can...
The war horse HS-JS415 isn't resetting as I've gotten it to do in the past. As for the PMD-430, the 2200uF/10V (as opposed the 16v next door, I...
Roger that. I have three TCD-D8's, two bought new, one parts. I have all the ancillaries for it and I'd like to have ONE working unit.
I hope resurrecting this thread is okay, but I'd like to get recommendations for servicing my TCD-D8. It's stuck in boot up mode where the tape...
The new to me HS-JS415 is completed and working 100%. One less thing. The "1995 Circuit City demo" not new to me at all 415 is reverting back to...
There seems to be an ESL or some other issue regarding the meaning of what I've posted. I've tried to make this CLEAR: The voltage and DC...
