I could not resist and took it a part, cut the chassis, rewired, sprayed...

So here is a little transformation of the old Philips CD753 with TDA1549 DAC





I did not like the main power cable going directly into the player so I decided to fit IEC connector with little switch

Before



After




Internal fuse is bypassed




And as I needed to cut into the main cover and chassis I ended to respray the whole init

Thank you everyone for suggestions and especially to Richard @lovejoy for the informative post and link which leads me into this player

That is just a little simple modification for now. I am not sure if I going to modify any internal electronics or just leave it as it is now.

It would be a very confusing thread if they did that, no?

if you add a little note than should be OK

Anyone can suggest cheap replacement for transformer in this player? maybe a toroid transformer? This original making noticeable noise when music is off and its in stand by mode.
I did fitted IEC plug with mains switch but sometimes I am just too lazy to turn it OFF at the back so I would like to leave it in stand by mode. But because of that bloody noise, I can not. It drives me crazy

Get som rubber between the trafo and the chassis.

doubt it going to help but I may give it a try. This trafo is prop buzzing and the two screws are really tight.
I give it a shot tomorrow, nice day off
