From your description, it sounds as if you have a catastrophic short circuit which is resulting in very high power consumption and overheating....
Hello and welcome. In answer to your questions: 1. The problem could be the DC -DC converter. If it is not generating 11V then Mihokm has posted...
It sounds as if you have found the problem. The spring tab is the only place where the casing makes contact with the 0V.
I would start by checking the grounding throughout the unit. There is a grounding star point on the main circuit board, near the -ve battery...
Hello and welcome to Stereo2Go. You'll find plenty of like minds and people with the technical know-how to help you out here.
I prefer to use the little deoxit dropper tubes. That way you get the deoxit where you want it. In the case of the slide switch, you need to put...
Have you tried cleaning the record / playback slide switch on the main circuit board? The contacts often get dirty or oxidised and can give problems.
I'm not the best person to ask about Dolby as I haven't used it since the early 1980s. I have never used Dolby C. When Dolby B was developed in...
Unfortunately not. Your best bet is to print out the layout which I uploaded earlier in this thread and the mark the OV pads with a highlighter,...
It sounds as if the mute module is working, but doing the reverse of what it should do. Normally it should mute the audio output by about 44dB...
There may not be a lot you can do to adjust the speed. If you run the walkman with the solder bridge open, then the motor speed is not locked to...
Yes, the metal can on the DC-DC converter should be grounded. It is soldered to the DC-DC converter sub-board by two tags. One of these tags is...
I have marked up your photograph with the position of the bridge here. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] When you desolder the bridge, you need to clean any...
Very nice.
I think it would be worth checking the DC-DC board thoroughly. The audio circuitry is powered from the 11V rail so if you lose that you will lose...
Normally if a mute module fails it does so gradually. At first you get occasional loss of signal and / or distortion. Eventually the problem gets...
The 400mA adaptor should be fine. The only time when a D6C may draw more than 400mA is when rewinding or fast forwarding and the end of the tape...
Hello biomayhem and welcome to S2G. With regard to your WM-D6C, if you're getting nearly 10V across the motor then there is something badly...
I've had this happen on a few tapes and I think it is due to age rather than weather. If this tape is precious to you I would suggest that you...
