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...
Yes I have never used them. I guess if you're in the US its less of an issue. I've been lucky with my D350 which I use sparingly and is in mint...
Hi Derek, Wish I could help with a UK based refurbishing contact. I'd say you should consider getting in touch with Kaosun in the US. The service...
It's next to the D-555!!. I mean if I had this guy with IR Remote and controller to boot I'd be kind of satisfied that it doesn't get any better...
I also have a blue WM-22 bought after it appeared in the film "Blinded By The Light" and featured a few classic Springsteen cassettes. I haven't...
Yes that was my initial thought too. Doesn't explain the failure of the buttons on the front panel to function but the remote can activate all of...
Thanks for those tips. My tech guy eventually got it apart and managed to repair the battery door latch. I've decided not to use it with a...
Yes. As they were only sold in Japan they do not have variable AC capability. I use a compact step down transformer which has two output ports one...
Haha. Yep it's his way of identifying the ones he's restored I guess.
I also have two of these units but only because the first one failed to read any HiMD discs let alone record. I was going to send it back but the...
Another DC2 with green LED battery light. Did you buy it like this?. There seems to be a few around with this mod.
