Nigel Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 My cdp transport is starting to play up, lots of blips & errors. I think the laser tracking needs to be checked. A couple of years ago I was told by a serviceman that the laser (assembly?) needed replacing for $hundreds. I said forget it and so he then researched a cheaper replacement and sorted everything out much more cheaply. For all I know he might have done a 5 min adjustment of the original laser ! Or maybe it has had its day ?? Does anyone know a good guy who services cdps and could advise ? It's a Musical Fidelity A3CD.

Adjustments are pretty much useless nowadays. See my old mate Peter Legel at PJL Electronics. 9948 3455. He's on the North Side (Manly Vale) and knows his stuff. Don't forget to say g'day from me. I don't know which laser the MF uses, so I can't advise you of costs. Some lasers are inexpensive and easy to obtain, whilst others are not.
Nigel Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Thanks ZB but a very nice sounding girl told me that "the number you have dialled is not connected or incorrect" and whitepages doesn't list PJL, unless he does diesel electrics in Cardiff ?? Name change perhaps ? Retirement? or worse.........marriage.

In fact, Peter was my junior tech, back at Marantz, in the 1970s. He was dating the girl he married, way back then!
