I agree! It would be good to know if the laser you bought actually works...

I guess it's going to be a gamble.

All mechanical functions seem to work.

• sledge works fine
• CD loads/unloads properly
• CDs Spin

Upon the CD stopping it sounds like it hits something on the sledge.

Also, I don't know the CD mechanism employed with this unit. After I took off the top part of the sledge, I couldn't remove some screw because I was afraid of stripping the head.

LOL, I remember that screw. Man that was a pain in the ass to remove. 

Hi,

I felt obligated to give an update on my BeoSound 9000.

1. I ended up using e6000 glue found at the hardware store to glue the hinges to the glass. It's been working great for week with no sign that the glue will fail.
2. left/bottom hinge is fixed after following "beobuddy's" advice.
3. CDs still do not play but the unit does spin up the CD though. I bought a new CD laser unit but have yet to install it.

I moved in the past week so I haven't had time to mess around with it. But, visually, it's back to showroom condition.  

Thanks everyone!
