Droplet CD Player - changing the tubes?


Hi
was just wondering if any of the DROPLET owners out there in Audio land have tried changing over the 6H30 tubes inside the player.How difficult was the procedure???
Any feedback much appreciated!

Hi Richard

Well it is not difficult at all but be careful.....like with everything in life. :)

First - you have to remove the screws that hold the top aluminium plate. (of course, remove the lid and magnetic puck first and do not forget your favorite CD as well).
Those are located on the bottom side of the wooden plinth. Locate and remove (4 or 5 , I am not sure) screws. Now, lift the aluminium heavy top enough so you can squeeze your hand inside in order to disconnect few cable/connectors that are holding the top plate down. Make sure to not pull those by the wires , which could cause damage. Pull them apart by plastic connectors. Remove the plate. Now , replace the tube and put everything back together.

Finite.

Good luck
