Very good news but could you first buy some for me and then publish it here in the future ? 
5 Euro for one of the best transports around.... It IS a lucky day today.

Hi Bricolo, I did receive your mail and the problem you describe probably is the clamp that is out of balance. Test it by touching it very slightly with your finger while playing a disc. You'll notice if it is the clamp. Check for dust, hairs etc while you have the machine open. Make a strategy about what to do too because opening it too much is not beneficial for the cdplayers health.

BTW I saw your post in another thread about my lost data. I was able to recover a few gb of audio data with a professional recovery tool. Since the overwhelming reactions ( 0, zero ) on my question about pdf's of cdplayers manuals I will be reluctant in the future to share mine, that's for sure.

Hi Jean Paul,
I'm not sure it's the disc clamp, but the noise seems to come from this location (or near this). Of course, if the CD touches something when spinning, the noise won't come from the the transformer or the dac 🙄
I tried to move it, to center it manually, no change. I first thought it was touching something with it's top (by being to much down) so I placed 2 CDs in the player. Always the same noise...
I saw no dust, no hair, nothing special... I even saw a intact orange thing 🙂
As for your data losses. I'd be glad to help you, mail me (with the same adress as the mail you recieved, not from the forum), I also have some good tools for this.
I'm sorry but I won't be able to help you with the service manuals, since I don't have any 🙁
Alex
any idea if the cdm's are available from someplace in north america? (or someplace that has an english order form...)
...for a similar price, of course. 😎

yeah, i figured as much - that's why i asked about N.A. availability. do any distributors carry it over here?
Marantz
Hi!
I have a Marantz CD-16 "at hand", but cannot find what transport it use.
Have however seen a picture that shows a swing-arm.
Would this model be a good base for modifications?

Jean-Paul: after further testing, the noise seems to come from the mechanism itself, and not the disc clamp.
The rotating thing on the mechanism makes this noise (I mean the only part on the cdm9 that rotates, the CD goes on top of it, and it's magnetic (to attract the disc clamp))
Can I simply oil it? And where?

Oh oh, I think the spindle motor is not OK.
It seems to me that no other part can make the noise. The disk table can't make noise as far as I know. Does it play all cd's without problems ? Don't use oil on it or when you CAN reach the right spot put a VERY tiny drop on that spot. Maybe you should ask Mr Feedback, he repaired more than I have. Never had other problems with CDM9 than the orange gear that breaks and the clamp making noise.
BTW we are spoiling this thread with unwanted info...

Yes, the only wanted info on this thread is how much to order. And fast, there are only 20 left now.
Jean-Paul: you'll right! I dismounted the mechanism from the player(such a pain to do this on a CD-9xx
)
It's either the motor itself, of the round plate attached to it (the thing on which is placed the cd) that touches the metal chassis of the mechanism. It reads CDs, CDRs, and only CDRW's TOC
I'll ask mrfeedback
Till: hurry up! This afternoon (18h) they still had 40 left! I don't need one, since my CD62's laser is OK (reads CDRWs)
Good luck for this buy! Very good price (tell me if you find a similar price for cdm9 😉)

for comparison purposes
prices at Grandata (a UK company)
maybe there are other places one can order from?

hehe, i just think about "cornering the market" ! (thank you Nelson from whom i learned this expression!)
yeah, i just read an email reply from them - the shipping cost to san francisco for a small one-off order is too prohibitive, so they won't even do it.
