Hi guys,

I took the top off last night and inspected the belt and tray.  After giving it a bit of a clean and a tap here and there, managed to get the tray to open and close.  The belt is OK, though is showing signs of perishing.  Interestingly, a spare band has been left packaged inside the box, so may replace the old one when I feel a little more confident.

Thanks for you help and feedback, most appreciated!

I'll start tackling my next two issues - being noisy turntable motor and no output from the amp.  Will be back in touch if I can't resolve, you guys are great!

Cheers,

Shef. 

Regarding the noisy turntable motor - I had a similar problem with mine then I first got it. It's probably been stood unused for a while.  Run the turntable at 45 RPM for half hour or so, that will sort it...

Hi lee, thanks for the tip!  I will give that a go tonight.  I assume it has been standing idle for a while at the last owner's place.  I have tried not to use it much so far as i was worried I might do more damage.  See how I go.

hI did yo get the BG cd 50 working, can i ask is the loading belt and drawer connected with the laser operation, i noticed my belt is broken last night

it was a set i was given, i corrected the loading drawer which was all over the place, but the belt is gone when i opened it up.

thanks

Kevin
