Just a thought. Before you check the above, is the pinch roller pressing on the tape and capstan as it should? One of your videos shows the...
Hello Sanchos. I have just looked at your video. I haven't come across this problem yet so I'm not sure of the cause. Do you have access to an...
Well done. You've done a superb job there considering the condition it was in when it arrived. I think I'd have given up at the finger slicing point.
Thanks for the mentions Jorge. I'm working on restoring 2 WM-D6s at the moment. One is an immaculate example which I'm repairing for a customer....
I have come across machines with different solder bridge patterns on the bias setting but I did wonder if it might indicate that somebody has...
In the first instance I would suggest checking and cleaning the S301 record/playback slide switch on the main PCB. It is the one which is located...
The distortion on the playback may be due to the muting module failing. This is a common problem on the D6s and the older D6Cs. I've put some...
I think the grey wire is the one which connects from the tape type switch (Norm, CrO2, Metal) on the LED board to pin 2 of the CP302 record EQ...
19lexicon78 in reply to your post: If by "CDP" you mean CD Player, a discman IS a CD Player, abait one in a small casing. Until I got the XP5 I...
I'm not sure which version D6C you have but here is the PCB layout for the early 1984 version: WM-D6C 1984 PCB Layout
Hello Ryan and welcome to the madhouse!
A few years ago, I inherited my mother's old Technics SL-XP5 which she had bought new back in the 1980s. It's still one of the best sounding CD...
Hello and welcome to S2G. The "It's a Sony" stickers were manufactured by Doublecee who is a member on here. He owns a record shop. Here is a...
Transwave 5 - I agree about the need to take photographs, not just at the start of a job but all the way through. I regard the digital camera as...
I've tried the TESA 51608 but found it not quite sticky enough for small peices to hold the wiring in place in a WM-D6. It's probably ideal if you...
Do you still have the 11V supply from the DC - DC convertor? Check the voltage on Pin 3 of the mute module, which should be 11V. The pins on the...
I have to admit that I'm a bit puzzled by the noise you're getting. I don't think I'll be able to diagnose the fault without actually seeing your...
Thanks for uploading that Michelle.
Glad to hear that the mute module is working OK. It reduces the output signal, both from line out and headphones, by about 44dB for about half a...
By the metal back panel, I mean the back cover. The metal spring is this; I take it that this is the little copper thing screwed on the main...
