  • Yamaha CDC-E250 problem.

    From Chuck@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 10 08:31:30 2022
    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.

    This is a old thread, so I don't know if you are still looking for the solution. If so, I'm very familiar with this drive and have fixed more than a hundred units.
    Thanks for your advice but I had cataracts at the time and I tanked
    the mechanism while disassembling it.
