Thanks for the warning. I'll try some of the diagnostic checks given in the service manual first. If it looks as if the laser unit has failed then...
I own quite a few D6s and D6Cs and, although there isn't much difference in the sound quality between them, I find that the D6 has a bit more...
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.
