    I have got a Sony WM-D6C with a fault, The motors will not turn, at all. The amplifiers work, i can hear hiss when play is pressed, and the BATT light comes on. But no motors turn. I am gutted. I am a savvy with electronics, but this is not the average tape recorder! All wires are in place. Motor shaft is not stiff, no belts were slack. Could anyone please help ?

    Hello naanmic, I probably can't help you but here's the service manual, if this isn't the right one, let me know I have copies on my hard drive.

    Do you have the unit apart with power and you can confirm the the motor isn't turning?
    Have you checked the voltage on the motor and confirmed it's getting any?
    I'd probably DeOxit up the speed dial and the speed on/off switch just to make sure they aren't the issue
