This is a Kewood 6 disc cartridge player ,I have had it from new 70's/80's the problem is it takes a while four or five min to play it loads ok but just sits there, after a while it will decide to play, my first thoughts were maybe capacitor loosing the value in the power supply.
Having checked the high value ones which all read ok I checked a few of the lower value ones no problem there, having said that there is quite a few that I haven't checked , any thoughts please. Mick.

Does it focus, spin and read the TOC in a timely way, or is that where the delay is?

Is the lens clean?

It seems to read TOC but when play is pressed does nothing for a few min. Mick.

So it reads the TOC and displays the CD total time, then gets stuck?

If you can give me the model number, I can look it up on Euras for you.

Cleaning the old grease off the laser sled rails and replacing with fresh grease sometimes helps. It cant do any harm.
