Well done @Lucabere17 . That's excellent news.
No, I wouldn't trim the tyre. I don't think this is causing the flutter. I don't think the tape is playing noticably slower at the end of the...
The part you have shown is part of the recording latch, and is nothing to do with the pinch roller and capstan mechanism. It does not affect the...
In the two cases of this which I came across, freeing up the pinch roller solved the issue. In your case, there are two other things which I would...
Hi @Lucabere17 and welcome to Stereo2go. I see that you have replaced the pinch roller. I think that your problem may be the new pinch roller...
Welcome to the forum @Refurbatron .
A fresh set of alkaline batteries can deliver over 6V, which may be a problem, there are other possible causes of fast running. What is the...
Thanks for the update. Glad it's sorted.
The three potted components on the D6C are the mute module and the two EQ switching modules. You could try removing them first of all, then see...
I would try removing C606 and measuring it out of circuit. If it still out of spec then try replacing it and cleaning the contamination off the IC...
If pin 5 is low, try checking C606 (10uF/4V tantalum). These can sometimes go short circuit.
Thanks for the update @rahul_unde . I'm glad to hear that it's working again.
Hi @rahul_unde and welcome to Stereo2go. I cannot talk you through a step by step fault finding, there are a few things which you need to check...
I have never tried it as I normally use an oscilloscope. You can try with the meter and try checking the right hand channel to see if there are...
Electrically, the EQ switching boards can be fitted either way round; they are symmetrical. The problem is that I cannot make them as small as the...
Who knows? They would have needed replacing anyway as the Sony potted modules often start to give problems after around 30 years.
Hi @Buckie1967 . PM sent.
I'm pleased to hear that replacing the EQ modules has solved the problem. This was an unusual fault. Normally when EQ modules fail, they cause...
Thanks for the update @-LV- . I'm glad to hear that it has fixed the speed issues. Pin 8 is the 6V B+ connection so the chip would not have...
The CX20084 is a 16 pin IC. The only pin which is not connected in a D6C is pin 6. There is a floating pad for pin 6 but it is not connected. If...
