I am building a toploader SACD transport and have only one problem. I cannot find a weight to place on top the CD spindle to keep the disc in place when in operation. I have thought of making one out of wood, but I thought one would be commercially available? Any suggestions?
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
the one on the right is available as a Sony spare part, but its listed as US$103.01 here .
The part number is A-4660-862-A, don't know if it will fit your mechanism though?
Regards
James
Look for the clamp for the SCD-1/777ES as it costs about half as much and should be suitable. Last time I checked it was still available directly from Sony. Sorry I don't conveniently have the part number to hand, but you should be able to find it on the Sony Service site.
Lots of pics of Pucks
Can't do tables here 🙁

Hi Khundude,
Regarding clamps for a top loader you can always make one. I used some brass rod and had a friend cut some slices and machine them into discs. Most small engineering companies or anyone you know with a lathe would be able to do it for a small cost.
In the pic attached there are 2 brass pucks of slightly different mass. On the top left is the puck from a Marantz CD94 II. On the top right I have added a small neodymium magnet to the white plastic puck from a Philips Cd104.
I found that the mass of the puck can effect the sound, the light one with the magnet gives a very open sound. I originally started with washers and Blutac and varied the mass, about 50g for Philips based swing arm drives is ok.
Cheers,
Rich
