From: William R. Walsh on 9 Apr 2010 09:37 Hi! > any ideas? Sure. Is the CD player section getting power? (Even if it won't play a disc, does the display indicate something like "--" or "00"?) Do the other functions of this boom box work? Do you ever get a display of the tracks on the disc if you put one in? I'd hazard a guess that the safety switch (the one that keeps you from accidentally seeing the laser beam when the lid is open) might be bad, as the passage of time and many cycles of the lid will take their toll. You can also carefully clean the laser lens with a gentle puff of clean, dry air or by carefully using some cotton swabs and high percentage (91% or better) isopropyl alcohol. Sometimes it really does help--especially in a boombox where dust can get on the lens easily. If you want a service manual, there is one presently on eBay that seems reasonably priced. The seller claims to ship worldwide. There's also another one of these boomboxes available as well, although it is expensive! And it ships only to the US. (The seller also takes time to tell us "You are a buying boombox in a good working and cosmetic condition." I didn't know that I was "a buying boombox". As long as I'm in a good working and cosmetic condition, right? <g>) William (gets too much mileage from the humor of typos)

Hi! > Doesn't the '101 have a slidey - outy tray at the bottom rather > than an opening lid in the top ? Maybe not. I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that one of the machines I have at home is a CFD-101 and it's a top-loader just like the rest.I don't pay much attention to it--it hasn't needed anything other than routine cleaning. Pictures seem to bear me out on this. > P'raps I'm thinking of a different model? I've seen a Sanyo machine (and maybe a JVC?) that did things that way. I have a very nice AIWA boombox that has a slide-out tray. Unfortunately, one of the cassette players is broken and I'm not sure I can come up with a good fix. William |
