Reply To: CD50 Tray Jamming – looking for ideas

Yeah, thank you for posting.

I like Vince’s videos a lot – I used that combined with the service manual to find my way around the inside of the player.

There are no visible problems, so I’m guessing at this point that either:

1. There’s too much friction, possibly from old grease.
2. There is a small site on one of the gears where there is wear, causing that ‘catch’ I’m experiencing.

Either way, I think complete disassembly to clean is the next course of action.  Again, thanks.
