TASCAM CD-601 troubles.
Well, you know me, I always searching for trouble.
Now I found it.
I bought a TASCAM CD-601, because I don't have a CD player, other than some PC drive.
When I bought it, I tried this. It was far from perfect, only some signs of life.
This was spinning the CD, what I put in it, but wasn't play it.
So I thought, that infamous Sony KSS151A laser isn't totally dead.
Therefore I was bargained in a bit and I bought it.
I took it home.
And here began my well deserved (perhaps demanded by myself) Stations of the Cross.
What can I do with it?
I was checked powersupply electrolitics with my ESR meter, they seems to be good, despite of 23 years what they have.
I was found this site:
Laserology
So I was cleaning the laser unit.
And voilá, this began to play CDs.
But what is this crackling sound?
So it wasn't a full success.
But I now use to play CDs this equipment about some months.
If somebody interested in, I will tell you the solution, and how I find it.

I was done enormous efforts for finding some information about TASCAM CD-601.
But I practically didn't found any.
Then I came across this hungarian site:
CD/SACD Javítás - Oldal 5 - Lejátszók, felvev?k, tunerek, DAC-ok - AVX Fórumok
(The last comment on the bottom of the page.)
There was a same problem with same TASCAM CD-601, and later turned out, same solution for me.
So on the BLDC motor panel there are two little 4,7uF elco, whose filter the DC supply line, and these were bad. I replaced them, and this very nice old (and very good sounding) equipment working flawlessly ever since.

Hi there,
I also own such a great Tascam CD-601 now. The Laser Optic runs smoothly and stable. But after about an hour of operation, I always hear dropouts in the sound. Kind of sporadic blubs. Seems to be a thermic problem, because it never appears from the beginning after turning on the player.
Can someone help? Where can I find these capacitors that were talked about here?
Best greetings from Hamburg
