Well I brought it back from the grave http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3902&highlight=CD2 but it has now developed a new fault, so unfortunately its time to pass this on to somebody else to fiddle with.
The Cambridge Audio CD2 needs little introduction being Stan Curtis' effort at translating the seminal CD1 design concept to a lower cost, more mass market product. It uses 4 x TDA1541 DAC chips that were reputed to go through a selection process by Cambridge Audio more stringent than Philips own S1/S2.
This CD2 is in close to mint condition and I have all packaging, manuals etc. It really is as close to a museum piece as you could find and in fact had not been used since, I think, 1993 by the original owner, from whom I purchased it. The player still reads discs and plays music, but this is very much overpowered by static-like noise that has just appeared.
I can post photos at the weekend.
Happy to answer any questions. I'm open to offers from those prepared to try to fix it.
Many thanks,
Tweedle-Dee
