This is a Melos CD-1 from the mid 1980s and it may be a clone(?) of a Philips CD 104. It has tubes in there supposedly. It doesn't have a remote as far as I know. Was this a special CD player in any way?

Being old enough to remember CD introduction I am turning back to vintage (having few modern CDs) So 1541 is today discussed as one of the best (analogue sunding) DAC worth to look for. SO it was used in Philips/Marantz/Sony CDs in the past but I found that each producer went own way to...

Hi, I got a Marantz CD 65 CD Player that works just fine but sometimes the Display doesn't want to come on and just stays dark but the cd player plays well. After turning it on and off several times the display sometimes comes on and workjs perfectly. anyone any ideas, what might be wrong with...

I just got a Technics SL-PJ1 off of ebay for $30 that claimed it was "tested and working." However that was not the case. I temporarily replaced the main drive belt with an O-ring just to see if I could get it to work, cleaned the wormgear, and reseated the laser guide rails, however it never...

I have been repairing 90's Sony minisets for a while. I like them and they're very easy to take apart. All screws. Now I have one that is particularly nice, it's got tape, minidisc and CD. The CMT-CP500MD, or HCD-CP500MD. Minidisc's got MDLP and double speed copy. Anyway, all that tape and MD...

Hello! I just picked up a Sony CDP-C15ESD CD 10-Disc magazine changer. The unit is very clean, in great condition for a 1988 model, and supposedly refurbished (rails lubricated, contacts polished, etc.). However... I've noticed that when playing back using the "Shuffle All Discs" setting, that...

I recently acquired a Technics SL-P999, without a remote, which appears to work perfectly. I was hoping to control it with my Logitech Harmony remote, but after configuring that, the player does not respond to it. I've also tried a Technics remote (EUR643900) from a more recent player, and...

I bought a standing american heritage electronics model ah-202 which has a radio, turntable, cd and cassette player. The CD player lights come on but it won't eject. I wonder if there is a CD stuck in there. There is no hole to be able to force it to eject. The turntable also doesn't move and it...

Hello, I have a Nakamichi MB-3 CD player that is completely dead. Looking for either tips on fixing it, or where to source a replacement power transformer if that turns out to be the problem. Here's what I know: It was dead when I got it. It was free with a working tape deck I bought. So I...

I got a hybrid SACD or two in my collection but never had anything to read the DSD layers. I have a cheap Sony Blu-ray player on the way to finally have something that can read the full content. I don't trust that any care was put into the DAC on these things and don't want to buy an expensive...

There have been many discussions about problems where a CD player is said to skip. I think the real term is drops out. My Bose Wave skips/drops out when the CD Player is first started. Then, over time, it plays longer and longer before dropping out, and finally after a few minutes it plays...

Hi, I have a new to me Carver SDA 490T that isn't working properly. I've cleaned and greased the rails, cleaned both the lens and laser underneath, and checked the contacts from the wires leading to the laser pickup. There is a metallic clink sound every time the motor starts spinning the...

I am not the best with electronics so pardon my inexperience. I recently obtained a Technics CD player which was used in the music room of a retirement home for a couple years. It powers up, the laser moves, but it does not detect any discs, no spinning. Inside the dock, there's this blue gunk...

Good morning, afternoon or evening. Would somebody be able to help me? My Pioneer PD-S904 has started acting the goat and now it will only read up to a maximum of 40 seconds of a track and then reset back to track one. As I traverse through the CD the play time lessens as if it’s only on some...

I need some assistance troubleshooting a Denon CD changer DCM-444 (not SONY, my mistake). It's a changer which uses standard 6-disk cartridges. I am waiting for a service manual and schematic to arrive. The problem is that when a cartridge is inserted and it tries to inventory the six CD trays...

Hi all, I have posted here a few times always to ask about some issue on a repair I am working on. But this time am writing to help someone that might run into the same issue. As am certain that this is a problem that happens to all this units. The Sony RCD-W1 has two trays, one is a CD player...

Hi All, I was listening to my Nakamichi CD Player 2 this morning. It's new to me, and in great shape, with original box too. Sounding excellent. This morning, in the middle of a song, it just spontaneously stopped. From this point on, it won't even read a CD. I put a CD in and I hear a very...

Hi All, I got a good deal on a MCD7007 CD player that needs a little love. The drawer won’t open easily. I took the cover off. When I ‘help’ the drawer by gently pushing it from the back, it opens all the way. I’m able to load a disc. When I attempt to close it, again, it needs a little...

Hello, I just purchased a Muse Model Nine CD Player and am getting familiar with it. I have the original box and packaging / remote, but sadly no documentation or manual. Curious if anyone has a manual for this deck that they would be willing to scan, or possibly any links to a manual online...

When the line "He calls for wine but they'll only serve him water" occurs, there's a very obvious phasing (?) of the audio out of the right channel and into the left. It always bothered me because it reminds me of the sound of a cassette tape that has a worn out or damaged section. It is on the...

HI all, I recently picked up a very nice Pioneer PD-75 Elite Cd player in very good condition. It is beautiful to look at and it sounds spectacular. I am not dissatisfied with it at all, but I wanted to ask the group if there are modifications that one can make to this player. I've heard of...

Hello, I have a Technics CD Player SL-PG340 that I bought new 25+ years ago. I used to play many CDs years ago, but for the past 3-4 years I didn't use it. Now, it still "works". It reads all my CDs, all button works as they should, all is good until I press the eject button. If there's no CD...

I'll cut to the chase. Are there any storage solutions for a sizeable CD collection in a fairly small apartment? I've already ruled out tossing the jewel cases and putting the discs into albums, or ripping my collection to MP3 (shudder!), which would take forever anyway. How have folks here...
