I was wondering if anyone knows how similar the mechanism is likely to
be to a cheap computer CD reader - basically, I'm wondering if I can
raid one of my extra CD drives (of which I have several) for parts to
resurrect the Technics. I can just open things up and have a look, but
if anyone has experience, it could save me some headaches.
Any thoughts?
Have you any Matsushita or Panasonic CD-ROM drives that can be
re-assembled easily and are of similar vintage? You might be able to
spot a mechanism that "looks right". I did something similar with a
Sony CD player and a small pile of Sony CD-ROMs. They were all,
fortunately, easy to reassemble, so I didn't end up trashing any drives
unnecessarily.
