I still have mine and the recordings I made at loads of gigs in Manchester in the late 80s early 90s. I sent Orbital a copy of a "secret" concert at The New Ardri and they put me on the guest list at their next concert. I don't think many bands would do that now 🎶
Lovely video, thank you for explaining! Got one of these used from my school as they were cleaning up for 50 kr. (just shy of 6 pound). I count it as a steal :D
its rare to find one working or serviced i managed to get one for £350 yesterday working case strap and mic and serviced so happy been after one since i saw it in a 90s Argos catalogue when i was a kid
Great Video! I would consider replacing the rubber parts inside your d6c. If you listen carefully you can hear a plopping sound from the mechanism. It seems to me that there is a dent in the rubber Disc attached to the flywheel, that the motor turns. It could be caused by storing the walkman in the playing position for a few years. If you do not fix this problem, it could waer out the bearings in the motor. Its like A pothole and a car without suspension
I found mine during the cleaning-out of the garage and I'm thrilled that it is the creme-de-la-creme!! the Sony Walkman DM D6C. There is only 1 problem!! Unless you are wearing earphones, you can't hear it. Everything else works very well! I'm hoping I can find a repair person here in Toronto cause I think it will be well worth it!
Looking at the tech these have they same to be on the same level as most of the high end decks from brands like Nakamichi. I don't know much about cassette but they seem pretty cool
Recently i was send a recording from a friend that does repairs.Same song with DC6 and AIWA HS PC202MIII and the sound was a bit less detailed/clear on the DC6 recording but more melodic,if that make sense...I liked the melodic part but the less clear not so much.
Hello thanks for the video , I want to get one microphone for my Sony TCM-5000EV (mono) can you please recomend me one that will works with this? Many thanks hello from Peru!
Adam, just wanna say, you got a great channel! Just wanted to ask, could you reupload your Video Scaries episode about "Apaches"? It's blocked worldwide.
THIS IS A PROFESSAL WALKMAN. MOST PERSONS DIDN'T EVEN HAD DOLBY C ON THEIR HOME DECKS. AND IF YOU WOULD TAKE IT WITH YOU. IT MIGHT GET STOLEN. THE PRICE IS HIGH. AND THE FOUR BATTS. IS ONLY CAUSE WHAT IT CAN DO. AND THERE IS A HIGHER VERSION FROM SONY. NAMED A FIELD RECORDER. THERE ARE TAPES SO SMAL FOR THE VOICE RECORDER. BUT THEN CAME THE VOICE RECORDERS WITH AN SD CARD. WITCH YOU COULD ESELEY LOSE.
Excellent video! Just got one of these, they’re awesome! 😄👍
Thank you so much dude! Big fan of your channel and work 😁😁 they truly are a good piece of kit! 👌

Always make sure the casette you're using has the correct nr on as adding type c to a casette without nr at will just make it sound quiet.
Just ran into a wm-D6c and watched your video. Nice! And ehhhh what's in a name? 😄
Great Video!

thats not how the reduction works. you can't choose which one you want on playback! it depends on what reduction was used to record it.
This guy think you can choose whatever he thinks. Its either on (depending on which dolby recording was made, usually its B) or off.
Beautiful 😍

AMI ELECTRONICS and Doc Oscar is truly a life changer for Torontonians
Um... You do know the d6c doesn't have a speaker, right?
Good video Adam
I just got my first TCM-11 sony walkman and its okay, I wish I had more money to have the D6C walkman
