    Hello and welcome to the forum @VFET747 !

    I would consider alternative fixes to finding a CX20084, there are quite a few:
    - the Chinese module https (likely based of BA6301)://www.goofish.com/item?&id=766454209480
    - the BA6301 solution proposed here: https://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/chasing-the-sony-cx20084-speed-chip-for-d6c-walkman.7794/page-8
    - new solutions that are in development (microcontroller and analog). Am working on one myself, but not ready yet.

    Finding a known-good CX20084 nowadays is hard and expensive. Only real solution are cheap DD donor units, if you can find them.
    The problem is too common to rely on donors, these will eventually deplete. Hence why I think the focus should be on the other solutions.
