Thanks for the help.  I had read about the capacitor issue elsewhere and I had already seen the capacitor kit available from Beoparts; I guess I was just hoping to fix it without a soldering iron!

I read the service manual and it seemed to indicate that you could remove the CD transport by removing a couple of screws and it just flips up, but I could not get mine to move much when I tried that, and I was afraid of damaging it.

I’ll have another go at getting the CD transport out so I can assess the work required.  I do like fixing these things myself, but I may decide that a professional is needed in this case.
