I've been at it again; this time rebuilding a lovely classic Marantz CD84.
Stripped down to almost just a bare chassis. Note the separate transformer for the display.

Philips CDM1 disc loading mech in lots of bits.

Lots and lots of disgusting corrosive glue to remove. Some of the component legs were almost rotten right through! Very laborious work.

Rebuilt Philips CDM1 laser mech. Interestingly this Japanese built Marantz unit has a different motor platter and the PCB's are different too. As usual the blue coloured 33uF Philips axial caps were knackered.
