Update: what I recovered from the Sony CMT-CP500MD Micro Hi-Fi

[@theprogrammerrolandmc3039]

The stellaphone is a rebranded Phillips model the info is on HIFI Engine or somewhere on the net i am sure there is a schematic i am sure there is a missing ceramic little disk that had fallen off the metal plate the flywheel shaft sit's on it i think i oiled piece of felt as a temp fix just to try and set it up and. I had to adjust the brakes the take reel was throwing tape everywhere i fixed all that. So the grinding will be the flywheel against the metal plate the felt probably moved and is not there now thrown around in transit as i didn't glue it as would have been pointless.

Yep it really is a Philips, I will give it a go and see how I get on. I will work out something as I have fixed some of the other Philips/Stellaphone models before.

Hi Harvey, hope you're OK.. Do you agree with Andy that all CD players sound the same as they all contain the same parts? And that they're only good enough for a mobile disco ? lol.. Don't say "Andy's talking nonsense about CD players again lol" like I did or you also could feel the wrath of the most ignorant, rude, two faced, vile, squalid fake 'engineer' on youtube.. Remember, Keep it ELECTRONICS guys.. lol.. ps Enjoy the lovely weather mate..

I have heard some really nice and expensive CD players my brother in law bought and I can hear a difference, that's all I'm going to say on that for now, lol. Yep, nice weather finally here, lol.

@@harveysvintageaudio Yep Harvey very true. CD players are still evolving and are still a great way to listen to 'physical' media.. My new player has revealed detail from even my oldest CD's that I've never heard before..Sorry to 'vent' here but we watch day after day as he bullies Christine, slags of other subscribers, butchers equipment and spouts misinformation..Why the good ppl in the chat reward the thug with donations and high value gifts amazes me..As someone who's worked in prototype electronics for many years I've never commented on his awful work out of respect, the other night I had had enough... Mind you, many people have vanished from the chat since I've been subscribed.. That's all I'm going to say on that for now too, lol...

@@harveysvintageaudio Oh Harvey I do miss your humour.. I don't get it mate, surely the good people in the chat know he's just a charlatan.. 'Engineer'? makes me sick lol.. I only used to watch cos he reminds me of my early teenage years when I used to struggle fixing record players etc in my bedroom but thought I was so clever.. Thanks for the update Harvey, keep em coming..lol
