Maranz CD 63 K1 signature problem !

[Michael loves music]

Could anyone tell me how much it would cost to repair a Maranz CD 63 K1 signature the drawer will not lock shut and so will not read discs ! Is this a costly repair or should my friend take it up the tip ? Thankyou for your help

When you say 'not lock shut' do you mean it just sticks out a little as if something was jamming it just open?

There could be something stuck in the mechanism or a broken plastic tooth if the drawer unit uses plastic gears.
Worth having a good look around the mechanism, hopefully t will be something easy to fix.

Did it ever stick or jam? It may have jumped a cog

:) yes just sticks out a little hence will not play is it an easy fix ? There is a tv hifi repair workshop just 3 miles away would it be a costly repair ??

As above, likely a V minor issue.
Pop it open and sort it ? Simpler than dragging it to a shop.. and back, I would think.

I last had a CD63Ki about 10 years ago.

I remember the drawer starting to creak and I put a bit of vaseline on the drawer teeth and all was good again !

not got the Ki but have the cd63se and i remember when i bought it on ebay years ago the drawer wouldnt open. Took the top off blew a big lump of dust away and its worked perfectly since.
