Heh Restomod... Going to try and document this here for others to follow / ignore as they see fit
Bought a Sony CDP-337 with a wonky mech. I already have a CDP-227 but this is a step up. Electrically similar is correct but doesn't tell the whole story at all...
that wonky mech first of all. Wonky, as in "drawer doesn't open"
You can YouTube but it was not quite so straightforward as I thought the lithium grease I had was too much for the rails, so don't do that! Grease for cogs thin oil for slides. Couples with new belts, the drawer now slides out of the player as it's supposed too.
There is a lot going on in this mech and it is satisfying to watch without the lid as the disk is lowered onto the spindle during the loading process
Finds and reads even CD-R's without fail
I'll be coming back to this as I progress...
