CD Transport with SF-P101N (inspired by Shigaclone)

Hello everybody,

I was looking for a good CD transport for my audio chain and looking online I found this old but interesting project (https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/dig...affordable-cd-transport-shigaclone-story.html).
I would like to understand, is it still relevant?

If I'm not mistaken, the project in question uses the SF-P101N 16P mechanics available online for a few dollars.
My question is how can I drive it and maybe add a display?
Are there any PCB driver boards compatible with the 16 pin interface of the SF-P101N?

Thanks in advance.
 
You mean this -> Shigaclone MKII Black - The builders Thread

I still have few gold plated pcb boards, MuxLCD, except LA6541 motor driver, all other ic's and some other parts are available.
I can make a full functional shiga mkii ready mounted on bamboo, but with preorder.
Also, I have a Quantum CDT similar to the one presented here available for sale at a great price.

Hi Tibi,
Do you have any suggestions for mounting CD mech inside case. I have the more substantial mech and have been trying to find other players with this style to scavenge a suspension tray but have had no luck so far. I have the springs, post and rubber guides out of several old units using other size mechs and am trying to make my own but I haven't been able to find any bushings for the spn101 corner holes. I don't really want to just attach it to 4 post with no suspension. Thanks for any help. I am going to PM also as I may be interested in a set of pcb's if you still have, I have extra LA6451.

best regards,
Steve
