Beautiful sounding and serviced! Very early model with. The word’Japan’ written on the head. These early models also have a grub screw sticking out from the side of them and have a more pronounced curve. New center gear has been placed and unit has been cleaned and lubricated where necessary, sounds amazing! Optical there are only very light user marks (please take a good look at the photo’s)! Especially to the USA and Canada. I’m very sorry to the majority of honest people out there but there are zero feedback members that don’t pay or scamming when the received the items. This results in the fact that i don’t sell items to zero feedback members. New center gear and not a repaired/glued one. When the gear is glued this results in higher wow-flutter, so less good sound quality. Why do the original gears always crack? Re usually made of POM material. This material is very reliable, long lasting and has very good friction properties. However, it has one negative property. It tends to shrink. It shrinks when it is heated, for example when player is left on sun or in car. By heating POM material to 60 C, it will shrink permanently about several percent. It also shrinks with time. Problem is, when this gear is installed on some other part, for example on metal axle. Plastic material shrinks, while meta one doesn? High tension in plastic part will cause that it cracks. Some parts are made of other than POM material. This can be short lasting material, fragile, that breaks into several pieces after some time. Reason why this is important. It can curl (eat) some or all tapes. It can cause speed variations. It can cause azimuth instabilities. Playback can be randomly stopped. Is responsible for the correct tape speed. Bad capstan is responsible for high wow flutter. The item “Rare Sony WM-DC2 serviced with original case! Early model with pointed head” is in sale since Monday, June 29, 2020.
