I tried wiping in down with just a damp rag. What’s the best way to clean this up? Hi sixersfan1, isopropyl can affect plastics in different ways dependant on the type of plastic. Unfortunately it can "attack" some plastics & the tray could be the type that may discolour, it may not appear as bad looking over time though. The sticky feeling may also recede over time but given the thickness of the tray it should not do any further damage - hopefully. If the outer case/buttons etcetera are as clean as they can be & I am sure that will be the case now then the smell issue should dissipate over time though the stale smoke smell can be particularly unpleasant for a while. Great that the player works so hopefully the smell leaves the unit soon & the discolouration on the tray - just try to ignore it when you are changing LDs! Hope the smell gets sweeter soon . Cheers

Is replacing the tray easy? If it is I’ll keep an eye on eBay for a replacement. There’s a few on there now but not for this model.

These models have a coating on them that I think was meant to be some vibration insulator and putting any chemicals on them will damage it. If the tray is like other mid to lower end models, the trays are just exposed plastic and would probably be more forgiving to chemicals but I'd still just use a water from a slightly damped cloth.

Just water won't remove the sticky stuff you get from smoke. Warm water and a little soap will work on pure plastic, but if there's something else there besides plastic soap probably isn't a good idea. So do those trays have like a 90's pseudo rubber type coating, or is it like felt or sponge? Pure eucalyptus oil isn't a chemical. I use it on all sorts of things to clean sticky gunk all the time, it doesn't dissolve it dislodges the sticky so you can remove it more easily. It has a strong smell when used but goes away fairly quickly and isn't unpleasant anyway. I am a smoker btw, but not through the whole house only the bathroom which has an extraction fan.

There’s definitely some kind of coating on it. Sort of a pseudo rubber like you said. If anyone has a spare tray lying around I’d be more than happy to buy it from you.

I’d avoid spraying any chemicals on anything unless you already know what they are going to do.

Ok. I admit I need to clarify something I did say. I meant to say that water would be fine on the tray with no coating on it (bare plastic) but definitely nothing at all should be used (including water) on tray that has the coating on it.

If it's bare plastic then eucalyptus oil is fine. It doesn't attack plastic, you can use it when you wash 100% man made clothes.

I guess it became hot in transit and some grease dripped down onto the back of the tray and it was soaked up like a sponge. Don't use anything to clean this tray.

Kurtis is great!!! He helped me procure some CLD-97 cosmetic parts awhile back to complete the look of my player. Very thankful for that. Enjoy your player and hope you’ll notice the smell begin to wain soon.
