Hi folks- I was wondering if anyone here had access to EURAS service. I have a problematic Sony WM D6C Professional Walkman whose "symptoms" are described perfectly on this web page:
see: Speed too fast. Cassettes move at approximately double speed. (the remedy includes a circuit diagram)
I'm am a newbie DeVry student and would like to look over their tech tip for this issue. Also am wondering how expensive the repair might be.
Thanks for your help- Karen
Sometimes a cassette witll run too fast if the pinch roller is not pinching the tape against the capstan. Look for a mechanical reason. The pinch roller could have just popped out of place.
This is a known problem with some of Sony's servo-controlled portable cassette decks. The D5 was prone to it too. As I recall, it was caused by an open pickup coil in the motor assembly, causing the servo to run wild.
Most likely, that's the problem.

There was a fairly involved procedure to replace the motor on these - the original is no longer available, so the circuit must be modified.
The service bulletin number is AUD0395 .
