So my girlfriend recently bought a CLD-1030 through eBay. The unit was shipped and marked as “fragile” but UPS still managed to drop or throw the thing to where there was physical damage to the outside of the unit. I got it apart and got it fixed properly but when testing the unit, it would click nonstop after the tray is fully ejected and when it goes into play mode, it clicks constant as well.

I did some digging online with this model prior to finding this forum and found a guy with similar issues. His problem was there was a piece missing that sits inside of a cam gear that raises the disc up into place. I opened this unit and found the same piece missing. I couldn’t find the missing piece inside the unit anywhere and was wondering if anyone here knew of a fix for this? Possibly a 3D printed part or had any old parts that could be salvaged or sold with this piece? I’ll attach a photo of the schematic and have the part in question highlighted in red. Any and all help would be appreciated.

It really sucks…because this unit is in otherwise such great shape. All the components on the board are new and it’s been greased up fresh and been thoroughly cleaned. I’m not sure if the UPS drop caused this piece to break or what.

Hey, welcome. I see your new, and so am I. I don't know anything about Laserdisc players and how they work so hopefully someone will come along and help you out with this. I wish I was more knowledgeable and be the first to help, but maybe something else when I get more knowing about this lol. Cheers.
