Philips dcc 951

Problem with dcc head shows 10001001…
Try to clean no success…
Capstans was very dirty…
Sometimes shows after 30sec first zero… And others but no sound… Capacitors on first board 10mF 60v are go hot 52 Celsius and chip is hot 52C. Is this normal… Or this caps are dead? No leaking… Clean board as new?
Do you have new heads for dcc 951?
Thanks.


I measure that same high temperatures on chip and capacitors on a working player.
Always wondered if that might be the cause of heads being blown after a recording.
I experienced that at least 3 times now, and I’m sure it will be happening more and more… :frowning:

Did you replace the pinch rollers? That should be done first.
