Cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol to clean and oil/white lithium grease for lubricating. Oil is the better option, because it's much lighter and...
Much time has passed and I forgot about the carbon printed resistors in the preamp circuit. Those could also cause a very low volume if the...
I'm glad you made it work again ! Maybe the fact that the roller assy is thinner on the WM-2 is part of why it bent in the first place, so putting...
Really low volume from one channel is very likely caused by the output decoupling capacitor going very low in value (like 100nF). The leakeage may...
So by what you describe, I understand that the mechanism does not engage correctly, it gets somewhere in between the modes, blocking both table...
From your description it seems the supply reel is stuck and cannot rotate freely. Does the unit run differently in reverse ? I'm not familiar...
Very good point, @Deb64 ! From the angle you took the picture it is very clear how the spring needs to routed.
Ok, so given the 330Hz test frequency the EQ modules are to be excluded. Your serial number indicates one of the older D6C (I have seen failed...
This part covers the replacement of the roller itself and part of the reassembly process. It doesn't show the full reassembly, as everything is...
This tutorial shows you how to replace the pinch roller on the SONY WM-D6C Professional walkman. It also applies on the older D6. The roller...
Hi, @brunophilipe ! Most recorders that have a stereo record level potentiometer have some imbalance between the channels because the resistance...
Indeed this is the mechanism. The picture I commented on was a Sencor SD-6550 (I see some similarity in the model number). I would be curious to...
Seems that there are plenty of options in regard to this form factor after all. That's a good website and it seems that the keyword "semi-in-ears"...
Those that do not fit into the ear canal or cover the ear completely obviously can't provide noise cancellation. However, most of the newer...
I understand, but if the roller is conical in shape (let's assume it is not manufactured correctly) instead of cylindrical, when you flip it...
The problem is not related to the tape path adjustment (as you discovered yourself): that is adjustable so that the tape path is in line with the...
I recently came across something that could be considered as an option: the Fiio EM3K (https://www.fiio.com/em3): - do not penetrate the ear...
@Jorge I understand your point of view, I think if I pour more money into this hobby I may have a similar one in the future. At this point my...
This thread covers a missing step in the WM-DD center gear replacement tutorial, which is essential in order to have a quiet mechanism. Applies to...
Not all pre-recorded tapes that have the Dolby System written on them and the Dolby double D logo were necessarily encoded with Dolby B. Some were...
