Do you still have the 11V supply from the DC - DC convertor? Check the voltage on Pin 3 of the mute module, which should be 11V. The pins on the...
I have to admit that I'm a bit puzzled by the noise you're getting. I don't think I'll be able to diagnose the fault without actually seeing your...
Thanks for uploading that Michelle.
Glad to hear that the mute module is working OK. It reduces the output signal, both from line out and headphones, by about 44dB for about half a...
By the metal back panel, I mean the back cover. The metal spring is this; I take it that this is the little copper thing screwed on the main...
Well done. It sounds as if you are making some progress. What type of mic socket did you buy on Ebay? Can you please post a link to the listing...
Happy New Year everyone.
From what you have told me here, the first thing I would try would be to remove and clean the switch inside the mic socket, using the photos...
Hello. I hope you had a good Christmas. It is difficult for me to tell where your fault is without your D6C on the bench in front of me. Do you...
I had a similar failure (except the single battery indicator LED was still working) on a D6 recently. In that case the problem was that the LED...
I had a look at the Mic socket from my scrap D6C and it does have a 2 pole changeover slide switch built into it. The switch is in a separate...
The same is true with some pre-recorded cassettes. Some of the analogue recorded and mastered cassettes from the 1980s sound noticably better than...
A couple of questions for you both. I'm trying to work out what's going on by eliminating various bits. Firstly, do you get any scratch when you...
I think the problem may be that you are trying to record from a high signel level output into a mic input. A mic level signal is very low level...
What type of signal are you recording from? Is it from a microphone, a line out from another peice of equipment or a headphone output?
Thanks for the order. I'll get them posted to you later today. When you say bad sound on recording, in what way does it sound bad? If you get no...
That does sound as if it could be the mute module then. This is the module fitted in a D6C. [ATTACH]
If the head is OK then the next thing to check is the mute module (CP301) if it is an earlier version of the D6C. The mute modules aren't fitted...
Have you had a look at the head after it starts to sound fuzzy? Is the cassette chemically breaking down and depositing white gunk on the head?...
Thanks for taking the trouble to write this up and post it Marian. I've recently bought a DD so I will shortly be carrying out my first DD repair....
