This is a changer and therefore not expensive in used condition: here two examples:
Sony CDP-CA70ES 5 Disc CD Player AS IS | eBay
Nice Sony CDP-CA70ES 5-Disc CD Changer | eBay

Hi, thanks again.
I am not very sure which is the focus servo and the focus buffer.

When the focus servo and the focus buffer isn't faulty, one of the supply voltages must be not present.

Hi, thanks again.
I have some bad experience with ebay.

When the focus servo and the focus buffer isn't faulty, one of the supply voltages must be not present.

That's what I thought, maybe the voltage supply isn't reaching the focus servo or the buffer.
Well, that's actually what I hope.

Hi, thanks again.

You must still find out the telephone number for calling respective the private e-mail address of the ebay member, which offer an article - for asking several things like conditions of shipping and moneytransfer (by correspondence about ebay I often have trouble). The last step should be the making of an offer. This is the best way.

 

[CaféNoir]

pardon me for asking, but you didn't forget to reattach the lid switch back to its place under the cd enclosure, right? There is a little magnet under the cd lid which triggers the switch when closed. If the lid switch is not near this magnet, the laser will not try to read, and the motor won't spin.

the only "safe" way to buy things on ebay is using paypal

 

[pmchoong]

Yes, CafeNoir, I did put back the switch and I think it (the switch)is working.

I am not too sure about this. But I do know is that it will take a long time going to and forth with ebay and the other guy and at the end, you just give up while ebay just say there's nothing else they can do or help.
I do not have any problem with paypal till now.

I think I'll try at the 'swap meet' first.

Can any one find replacement for A41E lid switch

 

[KCC]

So anything happened after Nov 2011 ? Have you got it fixed ? Any follow up ? Or you just give up the project ? I have a Planet 2000 with noisy background and am thinking about replace the pickup.Any suggestion ?

 

[MikeSullivan]

Yes, I did removed the blob of protection solder from the pick-up laser. What would be wrong from the lid switch? Yes, it is a '3 wire switch' with a 'A-41E' inscription on the 'magnectic' piece. But does it does seems to work.

Thanks

I'm trying to replace the laser assembly. I'm not sure where the blob of protection solder is. Could you explain how I can find/solve it?

I have a Rega Planet 2000 with R12 burn. Someone can say to me the value of this resistor?

Also, someone have the schematic? I have find this page with information:

Electronic Service Manual - Contents

The link for the schematic are wrong, the correct are:

Untitled Document

But wen I intended download the pdf's with the schematics, say that I are not allowed to see the page. Someone have access and can share the schematic?

Anticipated thanks

 

[raul_77]

I forget: R12 are in the front of the main pcb, close to a 330uF 63V electrolitic.

Thanks

 

[raul_77]

Anyone? Really need to know the value of R12.

Thanks
