Dick,
I tried Lubing the slides. No luck.
I contacted Audio Aero and surprise, I got a response! This is what they said:
"Hello
Unfortunately the problem with the Prima range came with the cd drive. First we used Philips and after Philips /orbit decks, but the parts are no longer available because the provider is out of business since 5 or 6 years...and Philips has stopped the production and after sale service .
I am sorry but we don't have any solution to resolve it.
Bruno GINARD"
I replied and asked if the Prima I have used the Philips CDP12 transport, If the Philips and orbit transports are interchangeable & how do I tell which one I have.
If it is a CDP12 or an interchangeable orbit, the Philips VAM1252 should work. There are several on Ebay.
