CDM 12 toploader modification

Nathan Lewis · 6th May 2003, 11:40 PM

I have the Steinmusic CDM12 with the drawer. How do you modify it for toploading?

Also, where is the I2S output on this unit?

Hi,

I visited Holger Stein last friday. He showed me how to remove the drawer. You have to push a pin somwhere on the drawer and the whole thing comes out. It is very easy. If you want to know for sure why don't you write him an e-mail?

Greetings

how does it recognises a new cd when you modify it into top loader? since the eject button has no effect anymore

There is a switch in the mechanism wich has to be pressed so the electronics know the drawer is "closed"

wouldn't it be neat to have it done automatically?

for e.g.:

something like this ?

Nathan,

Which version did you buy? (the standard, the standard with modification or the cdx 3).

Did you already listen to it?

Perhaps you have some pictures?

What are your plans with this player?

Regards,

Hi

In the CEC top loaders this (tiny) switch is activated by closing the top cover - might give inspiration.

I ordered a CDM12 at Stein, will start next project soon

Mattyo5,

That's a great translator, a bit weird to read but still way better than my Japanese language knowledge. Hai!

Anyway, there is lot's of info. I found a few other japanese site's as well which explain a lot.

I guess it is a good idea to dismantle the complete cdm 12 down to the part which carries the the motor and the laser and mount it in a solid, heavy wooden or metal plate. Or am I wrong?

Greetings
