I've got one D-9 still sitting on the bench. I'm waiting for the replacement motor for it and wow, speedPAK from China has no SPEED at all. O...
Here's my best guess; not to good but it should get the ball rolling "Thanks for Coming" -Gary Glor**** "Thanks for Watching" - not legible (to...
Yes, all cables should be connected if possible. Remember, you want to simulate the conditions of the unit working properly as intended.
Try measuring the voltage while attempting to turn the unit on. Double check that the unit's lid close switch is working. Let's specifically...
No, that’s not a dumb question! Sometimes, it can be very difficult to identify true ground points vs just metal! If the laser is plugged into...
Totally fine, that happens! Yes, the arrows pointing to the pins on the regulators are voltage values. They are clearly listed in the manual....
In my experience, whenever you do something like say change a capacitor or transistor, and it causes an undesired result, you need to 'undo' your...
Well, it's actually normal to be a bit higher than 9v if off load. All of mine are a little higher off-load. the 11v should go down close to 9v...
Yeah that looks very suspicious. Congrats on opening the adapter! That's not easy to do. If capacitors are bad, ESR and the MFD deficit can cause...
Well, some heat is normal, and there's kinda a fine line between what is considered normal, and what is excessive. All of my slimline Discman's...
Yeah, I don't have a 3D printer either. Wish I did... Na, I'd say you haven't damaged anything permanently. This whole thing kinda reminds me...
WOW! 16v off load? Mine's 11v off load. That's insane to me. Great, just make sure the one you purchased has polarities that are reversible. Some...
I'm not sure about the plug size, I have one, and it measures 11v right out of the plug, so it's not original spec either. I'd say replace it, you...
I would say your spindle motor is fine. Hissing is fine, It’s most likely the tracking circuit locking in the correct speed and regulation of...
Yeah, It sounds like the classic motor problem to me. You could try placing the player on it's side and see if it still skips, not sure if that's...
Hmm, to increase resistance on the pot, turn it clockwise. That much I know, but as far as adjusting the Discman's laser pot, I don't remember....
Yeah, I've had to re-adjust that stuff too. That's always fun... I really hate it when you have to adjust the tracking/focus gain even after...
I'm not sure if you would call it a 'synth', but my favorite 'board in my collection is a Korg Krome 88. Its a workstation with mostly PCM...
Welp, all of mine so far (except for two) uses the KSS-162A (220A's older variant) and with that new spindle motor, it will play badly scratched...
Haha, I get it. You either love it or hate it. You know, I kinda like the 300-CH better than the 300-CA motor. I know you have to solder your own...
