Kaosun told me exactly the same thing, that increasing laser voltage is cheating. That is why I never played with laser current pot located on the...
that is normal, the first Discmans had a few design glitches fixed only during production. Usually ceramic caps and diodes (as here), but even...
@Silverera it is RF-300, as in most Discmans. RF410 was used mostly for slim-line pricey models like D-15/250/350 and if you have the original...
Ha!!! My love for good’ol’Phil is forever but I must have listened to his song one time too many:eek: I did not notice much differences between...
Great Job!, honored to be of help here!!! And I must say that it is YOU, not just the baby-Discman who passed the test: if I hear Sussudio song...
Two medium-size flat screwdrivers (old-skool screwdrivers of course, not the ones with interchangeable bits!) on both sides under the platter, all...
I use these: Mabuchi RF-300CA Shaft is 0.5mm longer than the original but fits perfectly, no need to shorten it. Just extend the wires, reset the...
Correct! You may double-check your tester by plugging red lead into its Amp socket and setting it for Amps, if still zero you do not have shorts...
Do NOT engage 'Hold' switch, for now it is better to forget about it! You have no immediate shorts so you lowered your chances of burning more of...
the famous 'middle gear problem'...!!! Always makes me chuckle because of an observation made by my fav sci-fi writer Robert Sheckley about...
Actually I have one right now: I bought D-3 for the sake of trying myself in BP-3 battery revival. Since D-3 resale value does not justify the...
It was my all- time fav audio-stuff writer, Art Dudley, who put PS onto Stereophile ‘recommended components’ list... He died last week at the age...
Do not get your hopes tooo high... I tried :(... the first one got laser focus chip busted, I bought another one ‘for parts’: to fix D-10 you need...
believe me, I tried... but modding PS3 for SACD rip is beyond my pay-grade :( although step-by-step tutorials are posted for all of us to...
D-10: the Best Discman EVER?!?! According to the ultimate authority on the subject, kaosuncd.com - YES!
D-99 has somewhat friendlier layout than D-90. In my second D-99 I managed to put Nichicon FineGold ("Muse" series) h/p coupling caps: [ATTACH]...
No, this is how you measure voltage drop. To measure current going thru the circuit you must connect your multimeter in series. the easiest way is...
All voltages are for D-4 when playing or in ServiceMode. But before going there check that you do not have a short: use your multimeter to check...
@Recaptcha Welcome to the club of Discman resurrectionists!!! :) D-90 Discmans are my favorites also: solid build, decent resale value, and if it...
Welcome to the club!! The short answer: Yes, this happens allthetime... But. To be absolutely sure that C416 and C428 should not be there you can...
