Has anyone used/read this book?

https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Videodisc-Player-Troubleshooting-Repair/dp/0131608134

If so is it any good? I noticed it's published in 1984 so how relevant might it still be to 90's players? Have a Marantz LV-520 (CLD-D504 clone) I plan to start practising with and my others like the CLD-D925 and X9 are all 90's vintage.

Any other good books or sources of repair info? I have the service manuals for all the above but they all assume a certain amount of knowledge. Looking for a good general repair/troubleshooting guide if any such thing exists.

This sure seems to be the same book (though the pictures in the ebay link in this thread have expired so not 100%):

https://forum.lddb.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=6705&p=80484&hilit=troubleshooting#p80484

Maybe not too useful for me then?

Don't know about it but if I were you I would pick it up but pay very little as there is no real collector value only if it has info for us with LD players.

And since its old it may not even be of any help, but you will only know once you get a copy in your hands.

There is a copy on abebooks for 16 but don't know what the shipping will be to you.
Keep us posted if you get one.

Have you checked out Chad Pages YouTube? He has a bunch of Pioneer service videos uploaded which give you a lot of detailed info on repairs and adjustment including scope alignment.

Thanks, I 'found most of these already but was missing one of the tuning forks for some reason There's some good stuff in them but was also looking for something more detailed/specific - probably what the accompanying printed manuals might be?
