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.

OK. Well I will see when mine arrives using an MZ-R55 as a bench test.
Dead ones. I don’t think there's a brand I haven't tried new that has worked for longer than a dozen or so recharges. Most no longer charge and...
For sure they know how to tempt with open reel cassettes at $2.95 except when you go to checkout there's always tax and shipping to be added plus...
Hi Emiel. Assume you bought the 1.2V side charging version for use in an MD Walkman. Like most I have a drawer full of these NiMH 1.2V...
Thanks for sharing this. Having bought a reproduction boombox with probably the same cassette mechanism inside it as these portable stereos I have...
Certainly a bigger problem with these wretched leaking electrolytic caps is damage they can cause to the traces. Is a big issue with Aiwas P...
This is a weird belt path. I admire your perseverance on all of the restoration challenges. I'm also a fan of these early wireless models but...
Yes that gear may have broken completely. I discovered recently a hairline crack in one of my D6 in that gear. There are replacement gears but...
