Broken CDM9 Transport

[jimhu]

Hi Michael,

The Chinese description is basically to tell you everythings should be very careful. Don't use brutle force to disassemble and if you cannot fully disassemble, it might have some screws unloosen.

Please disassemble it and you will understand it is not a tough job. However, you should prepare the right type of screw driver.

Good Luck

Hi Jim Hu and Jon,

Thanks a lot for your answers. I have now followed Eddie Wang's instructions up to step 4. On the one hand, I have seen that the gear wheel is indeed worn; on the other hand, I am now quite confident that I will be able to do the replacement job. I will order two gear wheels and carry on when I received them.

As for the grease, can any silicone grease be used (some of the ebay sellers offering silicon grease are actually divers' supply shops), or should I watch out for anything specific? (Please excuse these dumb questions.)

I know this is a long shot but I have ordered by mistake and received a replacement gear wheel for the CDM-4 transport. I was told that the Aura CD player I was repairing had a CDM-4 transport and stupidly I didn't confirm it before ordering.

What I actually need is a CDM-9 gear wheel, I'll try Audio Service as posted above but if anyone needs a CDM-4 wheel I've got one for sale/swap!

To ceharden (post 73 in this thread) - I'd be interested in buying your 'spare' CDM4 gear wheel if you've still got it handy. I can't private-message you as I've only just joined the board, but if you can pm me with your contact details then I'll email you back. Alternatively, please email directly at the email address shown here: http://tinyurl.com/on6owr
