If its like the BG CD 50, check for loose or broken belt. Can you hear the tray motor turning. ??

Thanks for the reply - not much noise that i can detect, the tray bumps slightly but fails to open.  I might open it up and check the belt - thanks!

That the tray bumps is a good sign, maybe a little cleaning and lubricating may do it, if the belt is OK

To me, it sounds like the transport screws are still in place. Take a look at this, taken from the original manual:

Right Dennis, thats the first thing

Thanks Dennis, I'll double check the screws as soon as i get home tonight.  Appreciate your help!  Let you know how I go...

Hi Denis,

Sorry I remember I had checked the transport screws and they were in the holding slots as opposed to the secured transport position, so it must be something else.  The system was well packed in bubble wrap and well insulated from knocks, but I guess this is sensitive equipment.

I might try checking the belt later tonight, unless you have any further ideas. thanks!

Odds are the belt has stretched and is therefore slipping.  You can order a new one from member 'Dillen' (Martin).  Installation is pretty easy and he includes instructions.   I once fixed one simply by applying a small amount of anti-slip belt dressing.

Great to know, thanks.  I'll open her up and check it out tonight - see what I find.  Let you know how I go.
