Hi everyone. Just acquired a NAD C521i CD player which has a variable fault. When the tray closes the laser assembly gets pushed up as it should but its not clasping the CD properly so you can hear the motor that spins the CD (is it called the 'turntable motor'?) spinning but it is not actually spinning the disc - just slipping underneath. It looks like its kind of misaligned very slightly but I can't work out why. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
When it grabs properly (about 10% of the time) it spins and the laser is reading the disc no problem. So everything else looks good.
I have experience with guitar valve amps but have only fixed a few CD players (with different issues) so this is not one of my strengths! I have the service manual but it doesn't seem to address this issue.
Should the chucking pulley/plate area above the CD be lubricated?
Thanks in advance.
