Well I did not give up. I cleaned the lens with a dry Q-Tip, and it reads some discs, and skips on others. And is noisier now then it was before. I did not take the laser head out. Maybe I pushed to hard. It looks like the laser can easily be removed. I guess you can't just by a laser for this. Why don't manufacturers create a niche' market for their older equipment?
Magnavox FD 204 CD Player
Hi. My name is Mark. I have been signed up for this site for a while, but have never posted. I found one of these old, 20 Pound CD Players tonight in my local Thrift Store. It works great, but the drawer stops just a little short of closing completely. I have to push it in about 3/8's of an inch to get it to close. It sounds like it continues to run like it is trying to close, and will just open up again without my assistance. I guess it could be an old drive belt. The belt looks fine to me. But it could be worn, and stretched. I have never replaced a CD Player belt. Any ideas? Anybody know the belt size? Or I guess it could be the motor. Any insight is appreciated.
