The drive for each lid is made up of two pieces of cable 495 mm

Thank You!! It´s up and running again!!

Hi,

How do I get access to the sliding mechanism? My CD door cover popped out of the rails and part B, but there is no way to reinsert it.

I already opened the whole lid to the "service position" but cannot figure out how to remove the big middle mirror part, which I suppose must be removed to reinsert...

First remove the two glass panels (one screw each, left side from below, slide 5-8mm to the right and lift off)
Then you can see the four screws holding the center panel.
Note that these screws have captive nuts at the other side behind the large tape controller board, which is hinged and can
be swung down by losening two screws at its upper edge.

Oh, - and be careful with those glass panels. They will come lose from their plastic frames if not already refastened.

Many thanks! Will do it next week

Thanks, this was super helpful!! Hard to find info on this unit and how to fix it.

It was super difficult though, took me hours and I regard myself as pretty handy :) so anyone taking this on I'd say err on the side of caution and tread carefully (the amount of times cords pinged off the pulleys/'part b' and inturn it all unravelling, yikes, serious patience and nimble fingers required)

One other thing I'd be keen to know and hope someone may be able to make a diagnosis on. My unit starts to buzz after it's been on for an hour or so. Not the speakers, the actual unit (not always though, just sometimes when it's been turned off at the mains)

Do you think it could be mains transformer or something in the power amp perhaps? I'm definitely not sure how to fix it so your thoughts & advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks again

The buzz is very similar to the kind of buzz you get from some lighting dimmer switches (namely cheaper leading edge dimmers) hope that helps

Maybe power capasitor solderings as they get warm.
