Yoko F-92 Revival

Hi everybody 😊

I've got a Yoko F-92 CD Player that didn't work at all (made in Korea).

I cleaned everything in the transport mechanism, oiled & greased tracks and gears.
Changed both rubber bands for motors with new ones.
Also gently cleaned head with isopropyl alcohol.

Now it can read instantly all cds (takes 2~3 sec) displaying total tracks, time remaining etc.

But when I push play button it seems that try to focus while disc spins but finally it doesn't play..

It is a matter of adjustment or something with the lens you believe?

I would like to make it play as it has resistor ladder DAC and I'm curious how it sounds 😁

It sounds real, it says so on the front 🤣.

I think this would have been the absolute lowest of the low CD-player at the time and certainly not a good representative of what multi-bit DAC is capable of.
At the time you would be lucky if you received a Yoko that actually worked.
