Inside my Z124 finally the main transformer was burned after more than 1 hour of continuous recording 
After that I replaced the internal transformer with an external one but inside the unit something were hot, so finally discovered that the heat came from the diode bridge. I replaced it with a smaller and more modern diode bridge and soldered to it a 5th diode, because in the original diode bridge were another diode inside.
After that, now all works OK and the voltage is good even while recording. I get 6.2V then.
