Seen this exact module some time ago on a Chinese website along with other parts such as the rec level potentiometer for D6C. Glad to see they are...
@JeromePetit There is already a tutorial here regarding this:...
There are a couple more remarks I want to make regarding W&F. As a conclusion, first 2 things to be considered would be 1 and 11, in order to...
Something doesn't add up. If you have 2V between pins 5 and 12, you should have continuity between pin 5 and circuit ground also. Fact voltage is...
Think the best course of action is to either put the ebay link here once you list them or say what your price expectations are (you probably have...
Let us know your impression after replacing C15 and C16.
Out of curiosity what headphones are you using ? Low-end response is pretty good on these to begin with, never felt the need for boost even on the...
Clicks and no takeup torque/no rotating of reel would indeed indicate a broken clutch gear. There's a thread already covering this, so I suggest...

First thing I would check is power getting to the preamp and Dolby IC. The power amp is powered directly from 3V line, but preamp and Dolby are...
From the link, there's only one driver that looks like a headphone driver (see picture attached) and it's not the right dimension. Rest of them...
It's curious the service manual does not show any switch: https://www.petervis.com/manuals/sony-mdr-4l1/mdr-4l1.html Is that switch latched ? If...
Before drawing the conclusion the chip is bad, I would check around C204: traces, pads, vias. Check if you have continuity between + of C204 and...
There are 2 main settings that you're mostly concerned with on a scope: vertical sensitivity and timebase. Another aspect to be mentioned is the...
Indeed no need to replace the capacitors if they aren't leaky and don't give any symptoms like audible mains hum in the audio (reffering to the...
Can't find where I written down the dimensions at the moment. Will update the thread later on if I do. But any thickness between 0.05mm and 0.1mm...
