Normally if a mute module fails it does so gradually. At first you get occasional loss of signal and / or distortion. Eventually the problem gets...
The 400mA adaptor should be fine. The only time when a D6C may draw more than 400mA is when rewinding or fast forwarding and the end of the tape...
Hello biomayhem and welcome to S2G. With regard to your WM-D6C, if you're getting nearly 10V across the motor then there is something badly...
I've had this happen on a few tapes and I think it is due to age rather than weather. If this tape is precious to you I would suggest that you...
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...
