Yep. Not worth the effort. I've acquired a few similar players usually bundled with some desirable cassettes still in their plastic wrappers. I've...
Well maybe it's got dried grease on the motor assembly. If it's not affecting the audio out might be improved by lubricant. It's probably a cheap...
Chinese cassette player "WM-07" !!. A tad cheeky to use that model prefix. Where have I seen that before? :)
Yes it's been replaced. More thought required on this one. There has to be a dry joint or cracked trail somewhere.
Thanks. I'll check that too. Have replaced quite a few caps but not sure about that one in C608.
Can be frustrating finding intermittent faults. If it wasn't in near mint condition and an early Rev 1 D6C with the hyperbolic head I'd just...
It's really quite surprising that with this negative center pin requirement Sony did not include an adapter in the box for the WM-D6C. It was an...
I have a refurbished GF9191 which sounds OK for a 1978 BB. The bass wasn't as I expected when it arrived but it was in near mint condition and I...
Well the cheap "CX20084" arrived quickly at least but as expected it bears the ID number shown here as a fake 106N53F. You don't get that piece of...
Well the ones I bought years ago were 815N53F which are replicas but I believe can be used in place of the genuine CX20084. I'm about to find out....
Oh wow. Glad I saw this thread as there has been recent comment on Tapeheads about fake CX20084 chips but the ones I purchased several years ago...
The D6 is looking better as time passes. The potted or hybrid modules this release used for muting, Dolby and speed control can all be repaired...
That's what we all want to know. Whilst it's clear that any D6C with a 6 digit SN did not have the pointy amorphous head I have anecdotal evidence...
Never seen these prefix letters on serial numbers either on any I have or worked on. @Deb64 has probably seen and restored more D6 and D6C units...
You've probably received the same information in @Deb64 PM to you. It's really unfortunate that the speed control IC CX20084 is not protected from...
I know some unusual faults can occur with discs. Recently my copy of Paul Youngs pre-recorded MD starting skipping on track 9. It got worse every...
It sounds like the TOC has been corrupted somehow while the disc was not in use or in storage. I guess that can also happen if the disc surface...
Certainly needs 11 on some later MD players that were designed for bud earphones. You can use a small USB rechargeable headphone amp to boost and...
OK. So no belt in the D3 they are basically a modified DDII with a record feature. If tape is spooling off it's most likely the small reel gear...
Welcome Norm. I can relate to your experience of the basement clean and cassette finds. Recently did a full house clean and prep for sale for my...
