Hi Odinn

Yes, your failure is just about in the same place as mine so it must simply be a design weakness.  The plastic section as far as I can remember actuates the limit switch by following an inclined metal track.  It has to be able to follow both sides of the track so that it can return to the original position.  You still have a decent length of plastic to hold a spring in place so you should be able to fix that one.

I think that the rubber section that you found is probably just a cable retainer - see photo below

You were right about the rubber thing Geoff:)  I have fixed the hinge thanks to Medogsfats trick and now this arm thanks to your help.

I will get time to put the CDX together later in this week, I just hope it works as it should.

I just love how the internet is making the world smaller and bringing people closer.

Just stumbled across this addition to the CDX thread. I still have a spare intact arm if needed.

Glad my hinge repair technique is still proving useful🙂

Hi Odinn

Good to see the progress that you have made.  Now we want to hear that it is all working properly when you finally put it back together.

Well done

Geoff

Hi.

Now I have put it together again and it is working flawlessly!!🙂 I hope I can use it with the beomaster 4500 that I also found at the recycling center. Thanks for all the help and a great forum.
