Yes, this is my conclusion also. I think this tape was recorded on my previous deck and not calibrated properly. The other tapes I tried recorded...
Thanks @Valentin I have now adjusted and treble is much better, a slight "pumping" effect on Dolby C recordings is still there. What other...

Btw how can I find out what the current draw should be for specific models? The dd_repair_guide states: "Normal consumption is 80 – 130 mA,...

Hi, I have a WM-DD30 that has a background noice I haven't been able to solve. It seems like it's related to the motor as it changes frequency...
