...which I'm not surprised about from what I've read
The machine starts and the disk spins but then just a clicking noise - broken teeth on the sled drive? Belt replacement? Not even attempted to open it up yet! I'm going to attempt to repair it following the success story documented at
http://madeye.org/vlp600/ but I'm after a good copy of the User Manual and Service Manual (I've found one on the web but it's poor quality). I wonder whether any of you can help?
However, I'm bitten by the LD bug and I'd like to get a more modern player to enjoy the new discs I've bought until I can get the 700 working. I'm guessing that Pioneer or Philips is best to stick with? What player would people recommend for reliability, quality, flexibility etc?
Thank you for your help and Happy Christmas!
