Good evening cpix,
I also have a Pioneer HLD X9
My personal view is to just get spare parts like the Laser pickup, belts, Service Manuals ect.
If it's working perfectly well then don't touch it however if you know perfectly well what you are doing then that's a different story.
All the best to you
Good evening! Yes, a new pickup and spindle is sort of in my plan, but a pickup is 500 dollars, so have to wait a while before i do that. I have lots of experience with small electronics, and changing parts is not a problem =) It is especially the capacitors i don't trust, they are old and can fail and/or begin to leak whenever, so i feel its the best to get them changed as soon as possible
I have already done this to all the power supplies in my other units. The resistors do live longer in general, but if im already changing parts, i can do that too =)
it seem like im getting a service manual, and all parts are listed there as part of the schematics =)
