Goldberg Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 You can contact Alfred. I send my Marantz SACD player for him to repair. Reasonable price. I found him in Carousell. https://carousell.app.link/YD8LLPDdM9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Lim Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Had a very bad experience with Alfred, will not have any dealings with him anymore. Bought a used valve CDP (its European made, not cheap player) from him and later realized the cdp dac has been bypass to a cheapo, less than $10 china made dac.

YANG Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Marantz n Denon are not very uber high-end makes. Hence, from the fella's ad, u can presume that he'll not be using uber high-end components for repair oredi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kypay Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks for all the advice. He quote $65 with 2-3 days downtime. Discover yesterday, the CD door can manually pull out slowly, put CD, slowly push in. It is still able to play without skipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Teh Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks for all the advice. He quote $65 with 2-3 days downtime. Discover yesterday, the CD door can manually pull out slowly, put CD, slowly push in. It is still able to play without skipping. If you open the player, you will find that the tray open and close mechanism consists of a gear, plastic wheel and a rubber band. If the gear and plastic wheel are in good condition, it's the rubber band that has turned hard or stretched. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001146267135.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.1c41329cBuPmmB&algo_pvid=112a03db-21ad-4633-ab51-11d06ad06476&algo_expid=112a03db-21ad-4633-ab51-11d06ad06476-0&btsid=0bb0623b16001515306502380e168a&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyx03 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Have had bad experience with Alfred too. Bought a pair of used speakers and found it to be broken when tested at home. There was obvious sign of touch-up to 'hide' the defect >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discover yesterday, the CD door can manually pull out slowly, put CD, slowly push in. It is still able to play without skipping. Take out the belt and go to Koba at People's Park Centre and get a new one Try to replace it yourself and see whether it works. Just my personal opinion and disclaimer apply as usual.

kypay Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Thanks everyone. DIY by ordering the parts (gears & rubber band) from AliExpress. Open the CD player, discover 1 gear totally broken. Replace the whole set and close it. CD tray still cannot open. Reopen CD player again, realign 2 gear and don’t press so hard to each other. Close it... the CD player back to life!!!! Damm good experience in opening the chassis, removing 3 connectors, take out CD sliding tray & whole CD laser compartment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
