Hi All!
I have been collecting and listening to the first series of Philips CD players for at least 15 years.
These are for me: Philips CD100 -3pcs, CD104 -1pcs, CD303 -4pcs, CD304 -1pcs and CD304mk2 (diy) -1pcs.
I bought these devices incorrectly and repaired or will repair all of them. In many cases, only the old capacitors caused the fault. However, one phenomenon is true: CD-Rs are read and handled flawlessly.
I also have a Marantz device. These are CD73 and CD74(84). The CD73 is a pretty used piece, but it also read the CD-R. The problem is with the CD74(84). A CD-R disc reads and plays correctly but does not skip the track. I had a device years ago that didn’t like any of the written discs. It's been sold for a long time.
Now we have a CD74(84) again and it picks because there is a CD-R that you can skip through. I want to keep that for now and fix it for myself!
I installed the CDM-1 chassis in a CD 100 and can perfectly track the tracks of all CD-Rs.The error may be somewhere in the servo or decoder panel. I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet. I have already replaced all the capacitors in this as well. Nichicon FW, FG, ES(muse bipolar), KW, KZ(muse). Panasonic FC.
Offset error and focus error will not be eliminated with further adjustment.
I have several Marantz CD74(84) servo panels, but each of them produced a track step error. Maybe there is a faulty part on this panel that will break down on all such panels over time? Where do I look?
Thanks
