I've owned my Pioneer DVL 909 for some 25 years and only use it very occasionally to save it from possible wear & tear because I simply love this marvellous piece of electro-mechanical machinery. Since a couple of days my mood is a bit down because all of a sudden my unit developed a fault. Switched it on and no preparation sound from the inside as usual. Silence. Pressed the button to open the tray..... nothing happened. Symptom(s): Switching on the unit with main switch, the display shows "STOP", whilst the blue led light is flashing. The "stop" text disappears after a while and the blue led flashing led also goes out. If I press the DVD or LD "Open" button the display says "OPEN" and disappears after some time. Other than that nothing happens. When I use the remote to switch into standby , it says "OFF" in the display, with with blue flashing led both momentarily, and after a minute or so the red led near the on/off switch shows. I've taken the main and rear cover off and have carefully inspected what was possible from every view point. Everything looks like new. The rear LD reader is parked in its rear position and the small DVD reader unit is near the spindle. Removed the tray and checked all the voltages. They are O.K. The +14V shows 13,9 but suppose that should be not serious. Belts are O.K. This phenomenon has been described several times on different forums. There is one thing that I found a bit odd. If the main power switch is "on" my fingers feel an light but definite electrical sensation when touching the chassis. Measured this against earth of AC outlet, and it shows 105 V AC. Is there anybody who can advise as to the cause of the sudden failure of the player plus repair ideas, please? Thanks ever so much, Rob.

This sounds like a serious hazard to me. The earth in the AC outlet will be the same earth a person will experience if they touch something round the house and I think there is a potential for harm here.
