Reply To: Beogram CD-50 – Lower Disc Holder 9132

[Rob Bune]

Yes I saw in the comments to the suggestion that the motor requires cleaning and or lubrication. However the two non-working players that I have both had broken belts, so I am reluctant to believe that 2 players both developed in addition a problem with the motor. Also one player I am repairing for a friend who told me that discs were playing fine before the cd tray stopped ejecting, So unless this two issues are a symptom of one another I am reluctant to start stripping the motor down especially since it appears not not to be a simple job.

I should add that with both players it appears to me that the disc is not actually spinning – the motor is moving but it seems it hasn’t quite grabbed the disc so maybe I will try the adjustments of the copper nut first and also tiny adjustment of the teeth of the main cam.
