Excellent system bought new in the early nineties but sadly now without a working CD, the most used part of the system until recently.

The problem is the CD starts to play then goes staight to the end and switches off. My local dealer initially said it could be repaired as a new "eye" was required, but then returned it stating parts were no longer available.

Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?  

The first thing I would try would be to clean the laser lens with a cotton wool bud. If this doesn't fix it then Peter's suggestion is spot on.

Thanks for the advice, I will try contacting Tim. I did try cleaning the lens and it did improve the situation from 1 second of play to about 10 seconds,

Fingers crossed Tim can come up with a fix.

Thanks again

Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried cleaning the lens but it only made a very modest improvement, about ten seconds!

I will try contacting Tim as you suggest,

Thanks again for your advice and contact details,

Rob
