Hi to all

Hi I am Philip from the Netherlands , but just cal me Pip.

Love trying to fix some old walkman (beginner, much to learn) and yes already have two working; a dd11 sound problem new capacitors (first time SMD with special thanks to all writing there expertise here) and a dd33 center gear replacement (special thanks to mihokm for making the sony dd step by step repair guide and the great ebay service )

My new project is a DC2 (Think I made some soldering mistakes putting it back together, no sound and power is not turning off with batteries inserted, it keeps spinning)

Welcome to Stereo2go Pip

 

Thanks

 

Welcome, Pip! You'll learn a lot in this place. Granted

 

Thanks, I am looking forward to it.

 

It was not a soldering problem.
Connection switch was blocked and head was not inserting the tape due to some bad plastic below the center gear (luckily I had a spare part)

Now power is fixed, but need to open it again play and forward is blocked somehow, it turns a little and then stopes (rewind works)
I can hear a sound in my headphones again (no music due to the play block)

First back to reading the beginners manual again

 

Pip mate, welcome to S2G!

 

Thanks

 

With no cassette inserted all work.
With cassette inserted;

• play OK,
• forward OK,
• rewind blocks after two seconds
• and stil no music.

Next step

• check capacitors
• search forum (rewind problem)

 

rewind OK

 

Hello PiP!
I to came to S2Go looking for help and found too much of it! Now I'm hooked

 

Hi Brutus442,

Yes, a lot of info here.

 

Player brought to a professional, they have better equipment.

• Repair music problem
• allround check
• Update old components

 

Next project D3:

• New center gear
• Repair rewind gear (I had to cut the gear with a sharp knife and glued it to a spare dd33 gear)
• place new belt (old one is melted)
• repair phones (had to replace it)

And thanks to this forum, all up and running with no click.

 

DC2 is repaired and tested: PCB connection (manual item 502) was broken.
Capacitors tested

Al works.
Cost €75,-
