the accuracy of all legacy products under

isn't complete. According various images, which are to find by the keyword "SOLO" (+ Micromega) I come to the conclusion, that are
the following versions were on the market (go also to the attached images):
1) Versions with slope front:
- "SOLO H"
- "SOLO H2" (on sticker sometimes written "SOLO.H.2")
2) Versions with straight front:
- "SOLO P"
- "SOLO P2" (on sticker sometimes written "SOLO.P.2")
The actually question is, what differences there are in detail (mechanism, power supply, mainboard, firmware).
Under

are the contact site - unfortunately I don't speak french.
Under
MICROMEGA CD SOLO_diy_haoDIY
are to find advices for replacing old electrolytics.
If no circuit diagrams are published, it is probably because the existing documentation is incompletly and so bad (like hand notes) that one don't dare to publish it (well-made service manuals require a lot of effort and most small companies don't carried out this efforts).

A friend of mine bought an used Micromega DUO on the assumption that a Philips CDM-1, CDM-2, CDM-3 or CDM-4 drive is used (like then fourth image in previous post) because a later repair service is not a problem here.
After receiving it, he unfortunately found that a CDM-9pro was used - go to the pictures in first post under
Micromega "DUO" (CDM9-PRO) - Schematic or other Model with same MAB Processor wanted
After a short time of use the read in of TOC does not happen.
He will now look for an older version without CDM-9pro - unfortunately without images without cover this isn't to identify.
this list under
CD-Player-DAC-Transport List
is also not helpful, because the CDM9 was switched over during production both at "SOLO" and "DUO".
Is there an external distinguishing feature to find out whether with or without CDM-9 ?
All Philips CDM versions described here:
The almost complete Philips CDM range of Swing Arm CD Mechanisms | HFA - The Independent Source for Audio Equipment Reviews
If one has a SOLO or DUO without CDM-9pro for sale (both in not working and working condition), please let me know.
Thank you very much.

Transport locking screws for an old Version of Micromega "SOLO"
Transport locking screws - who can upload photos ?
I purchase a Micromega "SOLO" .
A friend of me in Hamburg will send me this device.
Unfortunately the package and other parts of this turntable are no longer available.
Maybe one of the members here can send me a photo from this parts.

I heard the Solo, I believe it was, at the Las Vegas CES in the early 90's. It definitely was one of the Micromega units with a clear, hinged plate plexiglass top cover. I was shocked at how good it sounded. I felt it was the best digital playback I'd ever heard to that date. Not that I had heard all that many others. What was so shocking is that it didn't seem a step better sounding, it seemed a leap. Airy, three dimensional and best of all, non-fatiguing. Everything that every digital player I'd heard prior to the Solo, wasn't. I'm certain it had flaws, but I didn't have time at the show for an lengthy audition. Oh, how curious I was to know what they had done technically that the others had not. Alas, I never found out, but I would still love to know out of simple curiosity. If anyone gets hold of an schematic, please share it.

I guess, only usual screws (M3 or M4) are possible (have a look to the attached pictures from an other model), but I don't know it exactly.
