Don't have a picture with it handy. Just remove that PCB and you'll see it.
The motor starts running with PLAY button pressed or not ? First thing I would check is the leaf switch under the small hotline PCB.
Those 2 parts in the pictures are related to the mechanical auto-stop. Fact those were harder to turn makes even more a point in fact mechanism...
It almost always matters the way pin comes out, as it's press fitted only in one of the holes (typically the bottom one) not both. In units...
Can't remember the exact number, but think there are more than 4 that need to be replaced. Point is only the SMD ones need to be replaced, rest...
The clock exact frequency isn't critical, seen units that were outside the specified interval and still worked fine. It has to be off by a lot to...
If you haven't replaced the rubber in it, that's the thing you should do. Fact you have low torque on FF/REW and on takeup is a tell-tale sign...
If you want to be sure, check the continuity of the transformer coils with a multimeter. It can go open-circuit, although not common. Apart from...
C709 controls the slope after the voltage has dropped to 0V. Higher capacitance on C709 will render a slower rise back to 1.5V. This is used for...
Thanks for sharing @rocket350cutlass ! If the shaft is too tight of a press fit, maybe it would be better to enlarge it with a drillbit and glue...
Have you tried replacing the acual solenoid ? (assuming you have access to spare one). Seen a similar problem on a WM-109 (which is essentially...
The travel back problem can be caused by a missing spring on the PLAY button, it's something I've seen on some D6Cs. Spring either missing or not...
105-108mA I would consider within spec, which further tends to confirm something I suspected from the beginning: you likely have a faulty CX20084...
You need to investigate that area in this case. The IR photodetector, IR LED or something else in the circuit is not working.
Measure the DC voltage at motor terminals with and without load (with cassette/without). For more load you can stop the takeup reel by hand. If...
If you have the means to check, see if you have the reel rotation pulses at pin 9 if microcontroller. Without that, you will have those symptoms...
The door lid switch can be easily eliminated by shorting it with a wire, so it's always in the closed position. If you don't have a proper...
There shouldn't be continuity between the positive rail (B+) and ground. Would desolder the flex on the other end and check continuity on the...
Not in the motor, in C604. Remove C604 from circuit to see if it fixes the problem. If it does, replace the capacitor with a new one.
C604 is on the main B+ rail and is not critical for circuit operation as far as speed is concerned. Only sitation where it could cause this...
Separate names with a comma.
