Magnavox CDB650 Problems

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I'm looking for some help with some mechanical problems with my old CD player.
1) The tray doesn't extend dependably when I press OPEN. The rails & tray lift and I can see the small pulley turning underneath the whole thing but the belt just slips. If I give one of the rails a nudge (I've got the cover off) it comes out like its supposed to. After doing that 3-4 times, it will work on its own. But if it sits for a few seconds, it will stall again. If I don't nudge the rail or press OPEN again the motor just keeps running.
2) When the tray does extend, it seems to come out a little too far. I can hear the motor running and see the little pulley spinning even though the tray is all the way out. If I push the tray back in a little bit the LH rail makes contact with some sort of double limit switch and shuts the motor down. Again, if I don't push the tray back or push OPEN again the motor just keeps running.
I had problms with this unit some years ago and had it serviced. The laser was replaced, but I don't know if that means the whole transport or just the laser. I don't see any sort of label that says CDMA2 or 4 anywhere.
These seem like the sorts of things that ought to be fixed via some sort of adjustments somewhere. But I can't figure out where those would be. So I'm looking for suggestions. Or links to repair instructions.
Thanks,
Andy
