I’m afraid my Audio Aero Capitole mk2 has died


I really love listening to CD’s via my Capitole, but now, the player has gone into a permanent state of ‘MUTE’.  I’ve tried turning it off and on, unplugging / replugging the player, but nothing helps.  A constant state of MUTE.  So, do I repair the player (in the past, I have used Peter Noerbaek at PBN Audio for repairs), or do I bury the player and purchase a new CDP / server?  Thoughts?

Last year my Capitole Mk 1 started misreading and I figured it was the entire laser mechanism.Found the Original Phillips OEM laser unit on Ebay from China and haf it locally repaired here in San Antonio.Works like a charm again.Still going strong 23 years on.P.S. I bought an extra laser unit for the next time it drops dead or when I am 89 years old whichever dies first...ha!
