[QUOTE="chipwelder, post: 26389, member: 54"] Hauled out the RCD 855, it spins the disk when inserted, not very fast, and then it makes a dzzt dzzt sound and stops very quickly not like it is hunting for the CD start, saying error even on very short (timewise) cds. Both the laser and spindle are kept in place as mentioned, not very firmly, the laser goes free when powered down, the spindle not. Took the top clamp apart, it seems to be fine, the little bearing is still there, pressing against a flat, angled piece of plastic (which seems smooth), somehow I remember a piece of metal pressing down on there, but I may be wrong... There is quite a lot of space around the bearing, but it stays put. I'd had a good long think and I suspect it'll be worth fixing and clocking, cause a new transport will prolly keep it going for another what 15 years, and I'd put it in the bedroom if ever I got cash to do a serious CDP... won't put separate dac in unless I can hi-jack the TOSLINK to become co-ax... there is a neat around 15x25cm space in the chassis if one does decide to put a dac inside...
