Given the common problem with D-50s having burnt DC-DC converters I decided to do a mod on the power supply of my unit. As with the AC930A...
You need to bend the center gear arm as indicated in the tutorial until the gear slips no more. Alternatively, you can add a very small piece of...
Very good advice with the REW, EQ and Dolby buttons. Pressing the REW button is more important during disassembly as that's the point where it's...
About the latch, I have seen DD units on which the latch was a bit worn (both the pastic part and the hook on the door). If the latch has any...
The capacitor can be smaller if it has the same voltage rating or a voltage rating that's higher than the operating voltage. Bigger is an issue...
Yes, it is installed correctly. The spring I'm not sure you will find one that thin on ebay, it's a very fine wire diameter one. I don't know its...
The 550euros you paid I think is a decent price indeed ! As for units that are "fully working" and "sell" at a certain price regardless of...
Separately you're pretty much out of luck. While not impossible, it's more likely to find a spare board than such a switch. You will need either...
Given what you have discovered with the potentiometer, I would make sure that both channels of the pot are actually working before going anywhere...
Ok, first of all you don't need to quote the previous post since it's just before your own. It only adds redundant information and makes the...
So the volume went slightly higher just by putting it back together ? And before the volume would do something between 0-2 and not the rest and...
Ok, so you are getting continuity at the leaf switch, but not at the PCB ? If so, the wires are the problem (which would be the first suspect...
Ok, if the reading was with wires desoldered then you have an open FG coil. The 2 most likely causes are the wires themselves (given what you say...
@Knife The kit is ok, as it is the voltage rating of the new capacitors. They operate at 1.35V, so the 2.5V rating offers more than enough...
If the FG coil reads in the mega ohms, then it's open and that is what is causing your high speed and trimpot not doing anything. Even if you...
1. Does the motor still run at high speed/trimmer pot not doing anything ? 2. Between FG points on the motor or on the PCB ? The reading is in...
Yes, C607 is the 47μF SMD one. In terms of size, there is space for a taller one, but the diameter should be the same as original. You can even...
Ok, in regard to pressing the tape as suspected that is an indication the pinch roller is the problem. The tape itself will stay at an angle if...
Where do you press on the cassette to fix it ? Please put a picture for reference. I listened once again to your recording. First of all, the...
I'm afraid it is normal. It's caused by the head picking up the flywheel's rotating magnetic field. User MagneticBlood has described this issue on...
