Marantz CD63 & CD67 mods list

[Fidelity Audio]

I thought the only difference was a larger transformer fitted to that player compared to a Marantz and a nicer front panel. Also was it not based on the cd67? which is nearly the same as a 63

I think power supply and some caps, maybe a couple more regulators too. I am forgetting though... certainly nothing that should trouble a nicely modified CD63KI.

I'm running out of ideas on mine now... well I may try a different output lol

What I am looking at is having a custom front to the player. Maybe some nicely crafted wood or Acrylic. Keep is simple with minimal buttons.

So if anyone knows of some nice case sites I could browse through for ideas or custom built work I would be grateful

cheers

How about modular boards for each stage eg servo, Rf amp, etc.?

You could rebuild it inside a Bush TR82 (my mum still has an original).

Reciva Internet Radio Configuration: Turning a 1960's Bush TR 82 into a Reciva Internet Radio

The tuning dial could be converted into a magnetic puck.

I could but there is soooo much it would be a nightmare to do now + I can't be without it for long otherwise I get the shakes.

That's really cool but the tinny unpleasant sound coming from the nice old radio would confuse people! lol

All the cases I have seen have been for top-loaders based on the CDMpro.
None for front loaders.

Guys,
based on my last picture, any benefit on fitting the larger clamp on my CD-x3.?
I've played of wire cutters, caps linking headphone section, muting transistors and asociated parts, used this CD-43 pcb in my CD-53 coax'd mech (to R505) and it's already a bit less harsh and metallic.
Side note, the front panel with IR sensor, a feed resistor (RY11), a transistor (QF61) and a resistor (RF61) are needed to make the RC work on a CD-43 PCB.
