Thank you for the detailed response! I have a scope but it is not a high frequency scope. I should have stated before that the sled mechanism does not appear to be functioning correctly. It is functioning, but seems to be a little clunky. It is also noisy, which I have read is not uncommon with this player. Toshiba came up with a "fix", but I don't know how to verify if it has been done to this player, but I strongly suspect it has not.
Can the spindle motor be replaced by itself, or do you need a whole new sled?
