I think you need to first wait until it arrives to properly test and then give us a full report on what it does or does not do (chances are it will get even more dinged in shipping as that can’t be helped even if double boxed ![Neutral :|](./images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif) ).

Quote: The reason why I got one that has this issue is because it's the only one in my budget I could afford, even if I have to pay for it to be repaired. I don’t see how you could make this determination. It takes some luck (having access to the right guy, access to OOP parts, test disc, etc) just to be able to repair an LD player at all, at any price, and they break very easily in transit. Nobody knows right now what it’s going to take to get this thing going, therefore the cost of repair isn’t known, therefore how could you know this is in your budget? If it doesn’t play CDs…not a great sign. But it plays CDVs which also have CD sections on them and have to spin faster? More questions than answers on that one…

M-Holder is probably going to be broken. Stay away from any repair places unless they specialize in LD. ldfan wrote: I think you need to first wait until it arrives to properly test and then give us a full report on what it does or does not do (chances are it will get even more dinged in shipping as that can’t be helped even if double boxed ![Neutral :|](./images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif) ). eBay "for parts or repair" is sketchier than buying one "working". I have bought several. My main outcome is that any existing internal damage is amplified in transit, followed by the seller thinking "Well, it is already broken. No need to pack it well."

The safest way to ship these with broken M-Holders is probably by putting a long strip of tape over the carriage motor (running front to back, not over the lens). If the M-Holder is already broken, there is a high chance the motor is going to completely sever in transit which requires some precision soldering to repair. I have had a few where the Side A rail completely detaches and that is the worst thing that can happen to these last generation CLDs.
