Legendary Sony WM-D6C "Professional" Walkman – 1980s Flagship – For Restoration
Description:
Up for auction is the legendary Sony WM-D6C "Professional" Walkman. This is widely considered one of the absolute flagship models ever produced by Sony, renowned for its exceptional studio-grade audio quality and robust, heavy-duty build.
Mechanical Condition:
Power/Function: The unit powers on, winds (REW/FF), and plays.
The Issue: It is currently playing too fast (the "Donald Duck" effect), regardless of whether the Speed Tune (pitch control) is engaged or not. This is a well-documented issue with this specific model, typically requiring the replacement of the Speed Control IC or a professional calibration.
Cosmetics: The unit shows signs of wear consistent with its age. Please note a visible crack in the plastic cassette viewing window (please refer to the photos).
Battery Compartment:
There are traces of previous battery acid leakage in the compartment. However, the contacts remain functional, and the unit runs without issues on battery power.
Conclusion:
This is a perfect project for a collector, technician, or enthusiast who has the skills to repair the speed control circuit and give this iconic machine the TLC it deserves. Once restored to its correct speed, the WM-D6C is a world-class recording and playback device that outclasses almost any other portable player.

Brand: Sony
Model: WM-D6C Professional
