    The real gems are the CDM4/53 and CDM4/Industrial both built like tanks and used in comercial kit like CD jukbox's.
    The Industrial was used in the famous Mark Levinson No31 Transport.
    The CDM4/36Pro also great, there are many very good versions and even the most basic was a good mechanism with a glass laser.
    To be honest the drawer is irrelevant, as once inside, the CD is lifted off the drawer and there is no physical contact once qued.
    The drawer is more about confidence, pride of ownership and pleasure in use, as long as it doesn't rattle and cause vibration problems during play its ok.

    This is my go-to site for CD transport mechanisms:
    https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/cla...-1-mkii-cdm-9/

    Edit: you beat me to it Barry, with the site reference.
    Thanks chaps but I did actually see the reviews of the CDM4 on that website. Nice site. Looks like there were a huge amount of variations of the CDM4 with some including die cast metal and plastic combinations. The reason I mention the CDM4/21 (and why it is difficult to find) was it was the mechanism used in the Meridian 206 CDP which I will be evaluating as a CD transport in the near future.

    Err, the review is for the 701T, an altogether different mechanism to the T1 James.
