[QUOTE="Rotelman, post: 840055, member: 19028"] On a partially related note. I have an old Onkyo receiver that uses a Sony transport and laser. It was having some troubles with the tracking and from fiddling inside, I found it's very sensitive to the rigidity of the plastic 'beam' at the top that spans the unit and it's fixity to the side 'posts'. It was initially skipping significantly and I disassembled and cleaned the lot and lubed and reassembled. The 'beam' seemed to be sagging a bit in the centre where the spindle was attached, and I thought it could cause misalignment. With some playing around with the side 'posts' screw tensions, I got it to work after a few attempts. Closed the unit up and it worked fine initially but after about a month, it started skipping again. Could such a transport mechanism be completely removed and replaced with another Sony unit that is not 100% the same type ? (as I now have access to one) Are there any signal/electronic reason why the same device needs to go back in there, or is it as such that if the physical size and movement constraints are overcome, that any transport can be plugged in to work because they all 'speak the same language' ? Would a complete other transport, like a Sanyo or Philips also 'speak the same language' ? Apologies if this derails the discussion a bit, but I thought it's the right thread and time to ask a silly'ish question. [/QUOTE]
