I'm trying to rescue this Wadia 3200 that has been butchered by someone in the past. I believe the original fault was not reading discs, likely down to caps on the CDM1 mechanism. Problem is whoever had it before tried to open it and in doing so has broken one of the white plastic guides on the tray, does anyone know where I can find this part?
Isn't the 3200 base on Marantz Cd95 ?
I believe so yes, but either way no spare parts seem to be available for either
does anyone have a picture of the part thats broken so I can try and bodge something similar to work?

Scrap a cd63 at £50
The 63 started with cdm0 but soon switch to cdm1.
The cdm1 was tuned up for the cd9* but you don't seem to need anything special from one.
Buying an SE or Signature will likely net the right drive. Use the good bit in your Wadia, and then see if you can be bothered to make one for the 63, or just sell it as spares repairs. You may loose £30 to get the right part.
I would look on youtube for 63 repair vids, but I don't know what your drive looks like anyway
