This is one of the older D6Cs. I think it was manufactured before 1994. It does not have the surface mount circuit board or the modification for...
Hello Patrick and welcome. I've just seen this thread. The record problem could be the play / record slide switch on the main PCB and the record...
I now have replacement CP601s available on Ebay now. I'll do a detailed write up with details of symptoms of failure and how to diagnose a faulty...
Hello and welcome to S2G.
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...
