Nice Siamese, I can tell she's very regal indeed, got a black one myself ! Good repair on the Sony too. Wonderful sound for such a small unit. A chap who worked for the BBC I knew had one as "Company Issue".
I remember when tape-to-tape reel machines (like Panasonic etc), were so big and got so hot, they had bloody fans built into the back of 'em. That's when you know you're getting old!! Built better then too. Probably because they didn't build so much in bloody China back then (?!). Carry on with the great vids.
Gorgeous cat and those eyes are stunning, nice work on the Camcorder too! I hate taking things like that apart....my eyes aren't what they used to be :-(
Great work dear mate as always. I never worked on such cassette players having DC to DC inverter in them. I saw them in other machines like PC, laptop and other computer stuff. Reason is obvious here as there are two battery cells powering the unit. Thanks for the nice upload. Regards,
+LearningZone With Sony it was always about making the unit as small and efficient as possible. WHereas most recorders of this era used 4 or 6 "C" size batteries to operate, Sony wanted to do it with 2 D cells. The logic was 2 D cells will store more energy than C cells. The pinnacle of efficiency would be the Walkman WM10 and WMF10 (I have both, and should showcase these units as they were cassette players the size of a cassette case) They operated on a single AA battery, and used a flat 3 phase BSL motor. Very high tech for a Walkman. The coolest and most fragile Walkman of all time, and the F10mk2 which is what I have had an AM/FM radio in it to boot!

Hello. Absolutely fantastic learning Chanel. I have the pro version of this machine with xlr inputs. Brilliant engineering with full metal case and sounds better then some home decks. Thanks also for your DAT videos, I have repaired my Walkman TCD-D8 by watching your videos. Next up is my DTS-1000ES for service. Looking out for a car DAT which Sony only made one of, bit hard to find here in the UK though. Best of health.
Loverly job sir, your framing was spot on :-). . lol that cat is a tinker, but cute as hell so welcome to visit you :-D Thankfully the sony didnt have any really nasty damage, dropping stuff can really make a mess, like those old look meters on the front, i just think about the tiny coiled springs that connect the movement, horrible if damaged :-( Thats a nice looking unit, love the way it looks. Ahh the record/play mode switch, bloody horrible multicontact loooooong switch. Ive de soldered them and dissasembled to clean the contacts/sliders with paper soaked in switch cleaner, they are allways black in colour for some reason, once cleaned i lube them to stop dampness getting in, a pain but worth the effort :-D
Hi! Thank you for providing this service. Do you have the ability to repair the rubber wheels inside the D5? I have the D5M and I'd like to get fresh rubbers for it

hi 12voltvids, can I make a tech question? I have a vhs nvh70 with tracking problems. after 30min (and I suppose cap warming), the problems go away. already did a full psu recap. used air can to freeze caps but still could not find the bad one. do you recomend a full recap? thx
Are you interested in working on my stereo cassette corder TC D5M everything works except the right hand wheel stops after about 15 mn with or without K7 even when taping it stops and that creates a stuffing of the tape
Hello! May I ask for how to PM you about two shortwave radios I have? The External Antenna Input amplifier in both my Radio Shack DX 390, and Grundig G6 I suspect is blown. Thanks in advance for if you care to make contact with me!
+Lachlant1984 That is actually the very first Minidisk recorder ever made. It is an MZ1, and the serial number of this unit is #106!Here is a little info on this historic unit.www.walkmancentral.com/products/mz-1Incidentally I have an MZ1, and MZ2P which is the playback only identical unit, but the MZ2 has a weak laser. It will play prerecorded disks but not self recorded disks, but this MZ1 works perfectly. Only problem is the NiCd battery is fubar.
Wm-d6c sound quality is not bad at all really, and i am a happy owner of it. What do you think about sound quality of WM-D3, did you have an opportunity to compare them? Thank you.

Hi, 12voltvids! What song was used in the introduction of the video?
Undercover by the musicbakery. Royalty free
It’s a Sony!
One of these at the local auction.
I got one at the thrift store.
I have a sony tc-Rx70es does not turn on, where could a start?, I see no fuse to check
I just overhauled a tcrx70es today. New belts. Video going up shortly. No power check regulators

Why don't you ever lose any screws? Usually, that's the first thing I accomplish.
I do, I just have bins full of spares.
What's the title of song at 13:00 ?
The group is Loverboy, track is "Love Will Rise Again" off the album "Wildside"
Thank you!
