Once had an old Rotel CD player that would quit tracking. It had a Phillips swing arm transport with a pivot bearing that went dry. One drop of transmission fluid fixed it. Make sure the grease you pick is not too heavy and plastic compatible.
how to fix a CD player
I bought an Onkyo CD player from my once favorite source (I start to suspect they auction stuff out from electronic recycling.)
It's playing for a few minutes and then stops. I can't go to the next track, the display in the front is dim. I was wondering if its' easy to fix (easy steps to try), there is a repair kit on ebay for $15.
It's probably 10 years old, otherwise in good shape. (I thought I could sell my current CD player, keep this one, and cash $80 or so for an upgrade for another component.
Or is it best not to waste my time and ditch this thing? It's C-7030, reviews are mixed, when it comes to reliability, not so kind.
Thanks your for your insight
