Sony TCD D7 and D8 Walkman Recorder Repair Service

We are offering a repair service of your Sony TCD D7 or D8 DAT walkman recorder

What's included?

The listed price includes:

An inspection of your item

Full strip down and re-lubrication of top and bottom deck including gear box 
 
Timing reset

Clean of all switches and volume control

Pinch roller and capstan clean

Full test upon reassembly

Return postage (UK - via Royal Mail Special Delivery - see Royal Mail website for any delivery restrictions. I can ship internationally using the eBay International shipping service)

If further repairs are required (such as capacitor replacements) this will be quoted separately. As there are no new parts available for these units then the sourcing of a suitable donor unit would be required.  

How does it work?

Upon purchase of this service we will contact you with details so you can ship us your item for repair (at your own expense)
Once we have inspected and serviced your item we will contact you to advise if any additional work is required to complete the repair (no repairs will be commenced until paid in advance).

It is important to bear in mind that it is sometimes impossible to test a unit it has been serviced due to the common fault of these units seizing over time. It is entirely possible for a unit to have other underlying faults which may not be discovered until the unit has been serviced.

All servicing and repairs are performed on a best endeavours basis due to the age of the items and Sony no longer supplying replacement parts

Your serviced item will be returned to you using Royal Mail Special Delivery (UK mainland only, I can ship internationally via the eBay international shipping service)

If you have any questions or specific repair requests please contact us and we will be glad to help

We do not adjust the tracking as this would already be set to your own tapes. If you do wish for us to check the tracking against your own tapes we request that you do send one of your own tapes back with your unit

Please note that this listing is only for the repair and service of a Sony TCD D7 or D8 DAT walkman recorder. By purchasing you are not buying any audio equipment shown in the picture

The quoted despatch time is an estimate only, please contact me for current repair lead times

If you are located outside of the UK then additional shipping costs will apply along with any relevant customs charges. You are required to cover these costs yourself

I ask that any zero rated buyers do contact me first please

We are not able to offer a walk-in service
