Found it! it was just like said blue philips 68uF, Ordered it and a few other caps for a NAD today, so opefully i will get the caps and sort it by saturday,, will report back with pics! many thanks.

I don't have any instruments capable of capacitance measurment so I can't tell you if its bad right now,  it looks ok though.

Hi all,

Here we have the culprit, this blue cap was sure the cause of the lid issue, removed and replaced with slightly bigger 63v 68uF cap but it fit, and the lid is now like spanking new!

Many thanks for this tip! Would never have guessed. I bow before this great forum and its members!

Good to know, thanks a lot!

I am glad it worked, and great that you posted some pics. Enjoy the CD3300!

Hello,

I have the same problem with my Beogram CD 3300. I replaced the lid-belt yesterday, because it got stuck while opening up. Now this works great again, but my Beogram CD 3300 has the "hiccup" as well.

I already extracted the lid motor PCB and located the faulty cap.

I'm no technical expert so I'm not sure which replacement cap is the right one.

I have a Conrad Megastore nearby and I found this one:

http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/445387/?insert=62&insertNoDeeplink&productname=Electrolytic-capacitor-Radial-lead-5-mm-68-F-63-V-20--x-H-10-mm-x-12-mm-Yageo-SE063M0068B5S-1012-1-pcs

It says 68 µF as well and dimensions seem about right (same length, a little bit more in diameter).
Can I use it?

Thank You guys!

Yes, you can use it, but the voltage rating is a bit high.
25V would be better.
Something like this:

And remember to get the polarity right when replacing it.

Hello Martin,

thank you very much. I was so focused on the right farad that I completely overlooked the voltage.

So I suppose the cap has to be 16 Volts or more, but the closer to the 16V the better.
I now ordered the original Philips cap on eBay: 68µF 16V RM2.5

Today, I replaced the faulty cap with one of those.

Now my lid opens and closes just like it's supposed to 😁

Had a little bit of a crises because the soldering point of the one single-cable connector came off the board, but I rewired the circuit and now it works again. 

Sorry for the bad photos, but I didn't want to take the risk of disconnecting everything again 😎

Thank you Martin for your help!

Georg

Hi, I am asking for a help! My CD3300 has a broken gear for the lid open, does anyone know how to remove the gear out as the hinge of the lid is on it’s way, cannot take it out ! Many thanks 🙏
