&lt;p&gt;Hahahhaha!!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i need something to read while I perform the sound checks. The Parts Express catalogue is a little bland form my tastes. The middle contact was a bit tempermental at first but as the new lube gets moved around and the loading tray glides more freely the switching issue has gone away. Doesnt skate at all when I am playing Cd&amp;#39;s. so far it has played everything I have fed it.&lt;/p&gt;

Tobacco smoke nearly killed it. The tar plaque was so bad the drwer would no longer open or close properly. the belt was spun out. and rotted. It couldnt read a CD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but using this thread and other like it i was able to get it going again. Seems to be working much better and doesnt sound too bad at all. realigning all the gears wasnt as tough a task as I thought it would be.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Initially the drawer would jostle around but not open without help, wouldnt recognise a CD or play a CD and would only eject out maybe an inch or so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now she plays anything I stick in itand open and closes nice and smooth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Didnt even bother with downloading the service manual !&lt;/p&gt;

Never even bothered with looking at the service manual. I have inserted at least 20 burned cd&amp;#39;s and it hasnt missed once.

&lt;p&gt;Not bad for a 26 year old &amp;quot;mono&amp;quot; switching laser.&lt;/p&gt;
