Default Re: Technics SL-PG440A CD Player - Needs help!

Michael,

Thanks for the information about the part numbers, etc. Shame it isn't possible to replace the spindle motor on its own. The whole traverse deck including the laser sounds like it might be expensive to replace?


Ben,

I haven't dismantled the unit enough so far to see whether or not your suggestion of spraying contact cleaner into the motor is practical to do.


The latest situation however is that having played a CD from start to finish a few times the spindle motor is now behaving itself perfectly. Just how reliable it is going to be in future is another question!


Regards,

Richard
