Newbie alert! But all of you were new here once, too. I'm retired but working one evening per week in the non-profit repair workshop of a community center in Zürich/Switzerland. I was helped here by Deb64 (THANK YOU, Debbie!) with a lot of information on the WM-D6C. I had fried it with the standard beginner's mistake - a wrong external PSU. Fortunately I managed to locate a cheap donator for the CX20084 chip that can't be found easily nowadays. I admit that I stopped using compact cassettes a while ago, even if I still own a Revox B710 deck (before, in the 1970s I had a Revox A77 open-reel deck, but the tape was veeeeery expensive even then) and switched first to several different DAT decks, then to CD-R, followed by a portable Sony PCM-D50 recorder that isn't used too often, I'm afraid. BTW I never had a reason to use Minidisc or DCC. When I was in hospital with spine surgery a long time ago, I had my WM-D3, a nice pair of Beyer headphones, a 3 V wall wart (and nice recordings courtesy of the B710) with me, and I enjoyed it a lot
