I have bought a Philips 960, just received today.
Alas! it doesn't work properly : on the mobile tray mechanism a small part is missing. This part is located at the far end of the tray and is supposed to push a switch when the tray is fully retracted. The net effect is that a few seconds after closing the tray, it would reopen!! I have to make a replacement part but I have no idea as the form , material or size of the original part. Apparently it is just a small finger like part, but there are skid marks on the metal which make me think it would have been metal and attached to the sliding part ot the tray. If anyone could provide me with an exploded view of the tray mechanism, it would be most helpful. |

Victory !!
I could not locate the missing part (probably slipped under the drive and stuck to the motor's magnet). But I moved the switch so that the tray would directly push on it. (not very good for the switch's life expectancy but it is better than a non working unit ). The switch now rests on a wooden brace I made. Now the unit works perfectly and the firsts tests are very good compared to my Marantz SA8400 vs Phiips CD960 (stock no mods) : Philips : ++ More involving, ++ Relaxed, ++ Sings (for what it means i.e more Analog Marantz : ++ Definition ++ Tighter bass i.e more "Digital". I have to say this was a quick and dirty test and that the 960 was not fitted with the best cables. Now I have to test it with the Philips DAC960. Should I consider replacing caps and OpAmps afterwise? |
