Hi. I have a Technics RS-DC10, in beautiful condition. It plays and records DCC cassettes, but has a problem with CC cassettes. One channel only plays, the other is silent. I replaced the capacitors with new ones, and still nothing. I should add that I have two of these DCC cassettes, and both have the same problems.
Honestly, I would open the champagne and get any half-decent CC-set on the side. Analog tape is really horrible for irreplaceable DCC heads.

Yes, I know that CC cassettes degrade the heads. I don’t intend to play these cassettes, only DCC ones. I just wanted a working RS-DC10.

Hi And Welcome,
Most likely there is either still a problem in the Read-Write board or the head is defect.
We can rather quickly test the RW board problem as we have upgraded/new ones if you are interested. We no longer restore old RW boards .

Hi Ralf, what is the cost of such a service? I need to consider whether to invest in it. I live in Switzerland, so shipping to the US will be expensive and the waiting period long.

This is just update reading digital forms, you would in theory need a much more involved procedure for CC as outlined in the service manual.
Today, I spent almost the entire day troubleshooting. It worked, it works 100 percent. The PCB traces were damaged in several places.
