Great job! I have one of these. The potted IC in playback started causing speed instability so I had to get Deb64 to replace it for me and give it a tune-up. Now it sounds as good as new. Fantastic machines and great sound quality!
@@Shrebina-kq4cs D6 doesn't have CX20084, it has a different chip on CP602 circuit. I repaired mine by desoldering CP602 (and all other modules covered in black epoxy goo), softening the epoxy in acetone for 2 weeks, removing al the black goo and soldering it back
Great video ! Today i used my same Sony again after a long time, the rechargeable batteries worked, it played still well, but when i played it on DC 6 V with a universal adapter, the speed of the tape afterwards played double. Do you know what is the reason ? The polarization was good. So pitty this nostalgic Sony can't play like it used to do anymore. Hope you could give me some little advice in your busy life. Thanks,
Hi, So sorry to hear that. I do have a d6c that has the same problem. I changed a certain chip(i forget the name cx9*** or somethinglike that) that's supposed to be responsible for tape speed. So I bought one on ebay. But after the repair it was still playing at high speed. So I never got around to checking it again. The problem occurs as far as I know when you plug in a 6v adapter with inverse polarity from what the device requires, these particular models use the infamous "6v center negative ". Maybe check the adapter with a multimeter just to confirm. I hope you can find some help on YT or other forums, because I was planning to make a repair video for it but don't count on me, it's gonna be a while. Please let me know if you fix it. Good luck.
Thanks for the video. It was a great help replacing the belt. I have one more issue: the tape mechanism doesn't properly reset so the head is always peeking out from the bottom. This means I can't actually fit a cassette inside the Walkman (without really jamming it inside). Any idea on how to fix it?
Hi, I'm not really sure, but it has something to do with a lever not in its place. I do have 2 of D6Cs to repair, when I open one of them I'll have it in mind to check the problem. Good luck.
Hi , There's frequency generator to make a 3kh tone. And decibel X for picking up the tone in playback. The recording needs to be done on your most accurate player, best is on a direct drive quartzlocked deck.

Nice.
Yeah a great device, one of the best.
the CX20084 chip you mean ?
Hi, yeah I think that's what he means. Although I have replaced this chip on a device of mine and didn't fix the speed problem.
Good luck.

I have 4 WM-D6C's in storage with cases and original power supplies.
Nice. If everything goes right your grand children's grand children will have a good working d6c with parts to spare.
Great video. Two nice Walkmen there.
Lol. That they are.

Hi there. Thanks for your video. Do you ever repair these for someone else? I'd love to pay you to fix mine.
Hi,
Sorry I'm very busy at the moment. Besides unless you're local I'd rather not.
Good luck.

Where did you buy the belts? Thanks!
Mostly on aliexpress.
I have a video on belts with all the info of the belts I buy.
@@theelectronageThanks, wasn’t familiar with aliexpress. Nice video too.
What are the two apps that you used?
