    This Sansui looks nice - people seem to like the black ones best but I reckon this silver D5 is still a good one. £35 no bids and super minty with full packing!

    Nope, a laser can lose power and still work with optimum discs. The Pioneer drive in my Ayre SACD player started doing this, playing some discs and skipping on others. It was diagnosed as a failing laser and the entire drive was replaced.

    Does it make pulses or tones?

    These old Stable Platter transports have a propensity for the glue holding the laser lens to deteriorate and the laser focusing goes to pot because the lens is askew in it's holder. It's not uncommon either for the lens to jump clean out of it's carriage altogether during shipment It can be glued back into place but you need to be very sparing with the glue and have a steady hand too.

    Excellent. Was never sure which I preferred: Trumpton or Camberwick Green.
