Hi chaps,
Ive got two cdp's which skip (forward). My main cdp, roksan caspian 1, also has problems doing the innitial reading of a disc/ keeps spinning then stops.
My other cdp is a rega planet (2000). This only skips, but always seems to read a disc ok.
The roksan, my main one, Ive had for 20 years (& i think 25yrs old min) Ive always managed to do a quick fix for both symptoms: gentle-brushing the lens & adding a wee but of auto grease on the 2 rails. Almost always, it works again afterwards for ~8 months or so until same symptoms again. So I repeat.
Therefore, now I have this rega, I'm thinking I need to try some more appropriate rail grease. Can anyone suggest what type to get?
Also I've read a very experienced cd repairer suggesting 'window cleaner' for lens cleaning ( IE a tiny ammount put on a cotton bud, very delicately apply etc). Is this ok?
Thanks, Capt.
