Have you considered a cj MF2500A. It would be a nice upgrade to your 2250 and you would be assured of system synergy. Chuck

Sounds like a sled drive motor problem. I have an SCD-1 and had a similar problem and fixed it myself. You need to pick a repair shop who is familiar with this problem and knows how to fix it. Chuck
