Hi Gaborka!
In my opinion you have one or more old dried electrolitics in your CD player. An old dried electrolitic capacitor has some but very little capacity, when it is cold. The situation can change dramatically when its temperature is rising after some minutes operation
Change the electrolitics to new ones with the same values.
I hope this help

Hallo,
me too got a 304MkII.

It's a tank, indeed. But while "sometimes" starts spinning and sounding, most of times it refuses to read the TOC.

Once started it sounds quite fine. One time it stopped by itself :xeye:

Should I look for bad soldering joints and replace Caps?

Is it a good idea to replace PSU caps with bigger ones? Perhaps bypassed by quicker ones??

TIA,

Stefano
