First post, wanted to share my kinda repair of my DCT-2000. I got my unit off Facebook market place for 20 bucks, my issue presented zero sound in either dcc or analog cassette. I’ve attempted trace repair on the r/w board at least 5 or so times. Yes I know it is a highly unlikely success rate and I’ve given up for now.

However I was able to get back analog audio, doesn’t sound the greatest, yet it is significant progress. I had to tear the board down and completely rebuild it, the following pictures are the bare PCB and the following trace repairs.

In the future I fully intend to purchase a new R/W board, this project has been alot of fun!
