do you use NiCd's with your WM-D6 or D6C?  i have a D6C and have just
begun using NiCd batteries in mine even though there is nothing that
says you can.  they seem to work fine except that you only get about
ten seconds notice before the batteries fail.  on my WM-4, there was
increased noise for about two minutes before the whole works stopped.
on the D6C, there is a sudden increase in distortion for about ten
seconds and then the tape stops because of lack of power.  with
carbon-zinc cells, the tape slows noticeably for a minute or two before
everything stops.  has anyone else noticed this?  do the WM-DD and
WM-DC2 do this?
