Yamaha CDC-E250 problem....

[Chuck]

I cleaned and lubed a functional cd changer. After I was done,
the number 2 disc tray won\'t retract. I stopped being an
authorized. Yamaha tech 2 years before this model was sold and
I\'m having difficulty understanding how the changer mechanism
functions. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Peter. I had already downloaded it. I was hoping there was a
known flaw and fix that could speed up the repair since this is a
freebie.

One project I have had on the theoretical bench a long time, is to
replace some of the read electronics in a CD changer with some from a CD
ROM drive.

Then I could pile my CDs into it, and have them rip\'ed without having to
constantly attend to the thing....





..... however, music streaming became a thing, and Spotify has already
got my library online ...

**I don\'t know that, specific, model, but I am familiar with the type of
mechanism. They are horrible to work on. I refused to take them in for
service many years ago. Just not worth the effort. Carousel types are
much easier.

Thanks Trevor. I figured as much. I have years of experience working
on Yamaha carousel players but none on this mechanism.
