Laser Replacement VRDS 10

[Audiofanatic]

Audiofanatic: I really apreciate the offer. Do you think it's within your powers to ressurect this lame beast?

I've manage to repair all brands or audio gear, incl. KRELL, Mark Levinson, PLINIUS, Classé & Spectral pre and power amps and many more. And TEAC is my CD brand, so If you need it fixed, just let me know

BTW nothing fancy about the above brands, rather complicated for nothing, Spectral and Plinius are the best among the others.

Best regards,

Audiofanatic

Audiofanatic. I have a holiday to pay for in the next six weeks so I really can't afford to spend any more money, for shipping to Norway and back, on this project for the time being but as soon as I come home, assuming I haven't fixed the problem, I would take you up on your very kind and generous offer. Thank you.

In your experience, would you say there is a narrow window in which the value of these potentiometers allow the machine to operate? I mean with the hours i have spent tweaking these pots I would have thought I might have 'accidently' found the correct positions.

I shall persivere with the player. One last thing: There is a pot on the laser mech itself. Could this be the culprit? I haven't tried this one yet because i can barely see it, let alone attack it with a screwdriver!!

Cheers, Dan.

Hi Dan,

Why don't you make this Utrecht? The Netherlands?
Via the tunnel I'll be a trip of max, 4 hours!

DON'T TOUCH THAT POT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be glad to help you if you don't manage to get it running again before you leave.

Keep all pots in the middle (centre possition) if everything is OK it should work!
Do yourself one BIG favour, don't trimm the other pots PLEASE!!!!!!

All the Best,

Hey I'm tempted to make that trip!

Ok, Ok, Ok, I won't touch the laser pot!

Tried that too, keeping all the pots in the middle. It doesn't work. Must be something else That's making it go wrong. Damn, just forked out £60 on a new laser!

I'll keep you updated. Thanks for all advice so far....

Cheers, Dan.

Are you telling me that you find this expensive?
This is normal price for a KSS-151A.

BTW. DHL or (surface) local/standard post (Insured) is cheaper than driving

Cheers,

It's expensive if it didn't actualy need replacing!

And i'd like to see the Netherlands for myself. I hear it's nice this time of year
