Wundervolle Maschine 😊😊

hi they say they are pro i find they have watched alot of youtube video's i can tell the pro's have big holes in there know how because there's no info on youtube i work on deck's my self and i get all my cap's from RS if i am in a hurry far east you have to wait along time note to reseller of caps i 100% know where you get you caps from big bags of 100 in each been there or a 1000 at a time

Just picked one up. No manual. Any idea where I can find one so I can operate the machine properly?

Nice, Harvey, but it won't hard to lift the circuit board just to check for any dodgy looking caps.

Running well, I would leave the Opamps in yeah the new ones perform better but not perceivable to the human ear. Typical Philips construction with a decent PSU I doubt an external PSU would improve things.

Aww Grankids are the best. xoxo

The Display has an On-Off button on the remote ….. www.cyrusaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PCMII.pdf

The Mission has the superior swing arm laser and the unit is basically a Philips, these last forever usually if they fail it is a cap on the servo board. Not very high-end but decent .

When you open this unit up, Harvey, then check the caps, there may be a bulging one, you never know.

I meant to say at 1 min 08 seconds that CAPACITOR is problematic, NOT transistor, lol.

.....and Harvey, when you take that board out then so check for dry "bones", joints..tee-hee, for you never know, for even the best Audio manufacturers never ever got it 100% on their solder joints.

Wel, this unit must be 20 years old now and you know what Paul says about those caps when they go beyond 20 years"?". I suppose that having to change that faulty cap would be the ideal time now to change them all. The latter, yes, if you wish to remortgage your house, Harvey..lol. Some reviewers state that this CD's response is flat on pop and jazz music, ah, but what amp were they running the CD player through ?????????

Interesting Harvey, will be great if that cap helps, shame the PCB has to be lifted out to do such a quick job isn't it..

replace all the chinese branded ones

Sorry about some of the camera angles, I am pointing to the subject matter but when I watch the video it's missing what I'm filming. I think it's where the lenses are situated on the iPhone 11 Max Plus. Regarding the capacitor I meant 2,200uf NOT 22,000, lol.

I have been looking on the net and apparently the skipping, not reading all discs properly is a common problem with the Arcam CD73, design flaw, read this link: www.avforums.com/threads/arcam-cd73-problem.1327022/

As a matter of interest, the earlier Arcam Alpha series disc players had some interesting circuitry inside...the range topping Alpha 9 cd had a d/a circuit designed by dCS. I have an Alpha 7, and a DV88, and used to have a CD73 too. Cheers!!

Good job Harvey, hopefully you've worked your magic on it.. If you can't find any words to describe Andy let me know, I could certainly help you with that !..lol

I should have said, now you know why it is working perfectly...ho-hum...lol

I know what's happened here, Harvey. By you opening up the works again, you have disturbed a Gnats toenail that was stuck on part of the Laser drive mechanism. Now you know why it is not working perfectly...lol

back in the 70's my dad had a reel to reel. wished i had it today. good job harvey on the cd player

Well done that man!

Thats a great floyd album also :)

Hopefully a bad fuse

I’ve been following this series with great interest as I picked up an Arcam CD73 just over a week ago off FB Marketplace for £80. Although I’ve had no problems (touch wood) I did decided to lubricate the same white cogs and metal runner as you have done as a precaution. If it’s a keeper the remote control (Arcam CR224) is a must. It allows you to programme track orders/ shuffle play/ and toggle the display etc. also it allows you to either dim or completely turn off the display during playback which apparently increases sound quality. Thanks for uploading these videos!

I hope you don’t leave it on top of that NAD like that just suffocating that thing

Perhaps what you should have done, Harvey, was to clean all the mechanical parts first before lubing.

Would you believe it ! since I stopped filming, the CD played ALL the way through with NO skips, lol.

How irritating Harvey, most of the CD players I've owned have succumb to similar issues in the end sadly.. Lens cleaning etc has never been a permanent fix for me.. I've seen 12VoltVids adjust various digital signals and voltages to cure 'disc reading' issues.. You may have to do some hard core learning and get your scopes out of hibernation ! lol.

Fived a Bose Cd Player That Refused To Play Cds And Skiped On Tracks But The Laser Was Not Fawlty Turned Out After I Replaced 6 Caps It Fixed It Regards mike.

Nad 4020B Tuner Was The Matching Tuner For The Nad 3020 Amp Harvey Regards mike.

Leave it on all day and keep playing it. Then off tonight and try again tomorrow !

I had a few Grundig YV's like this - Grundig with some other crap inside! I found the problem with a hairdryer - One Capacitor! But if there is dirt on the worm gear that loosens up when it has warmed up then the same applies. A heat problem could be either one!

Got to be an "Open it up" jobbie, Harvey.

I think there is more to it than just a lens clean, will take it apart asap. My friends band by the way is called "Tea For The Wicked" I will play it as soon as I get the Arcam working right.

Why? ugly divorce. Pissed at husband.....

It was in the trash for a good reason.

You Lucky Josser. A few caps may need to be changed and the laser cleaned, but what a superb machine!

Didn’t play for a long time it need to charge the old caps. You will need to clean the laser and lubricant the mechanism. Maybe replace some caps in the power supply.

There's a view about 11:50, which looks as if the whole thing is warped or twisted, perhaps you should have a good look and use a straight edge along the side to check if it is bent, perhaps it has been dropped and twisted by it hitting the corner which could also explain the crack.

I picked up the exact same model and in the same colour on Saturday (£80 on FB Marketplace). I wanted a CD player for a second system upstairs but it’s so much better than the Marantz CD5000 in the main system that it has replaced it (Marantz now upstairs). The only niggle I have is when switching off the display shows some random pixels but I’m told this is a common problem (I see yours does the same) It does come with a remote, and the remote model number is Arcam CR224. A full instruction booklet is downloadable on the Arcam website. They do sound good don’t they!?

Having a Tray Slide Out and If You Notice The Tray Has Two Different CD 💿 Sizes The Outer Is For Standard CD’s 💿 Size and a Inner Which is For The Smaller CD’s Now Most Newer CD 💿 Players Are Just a Slot Yet You Can Only Inject a Standard Size CD 💿 You Inject a Small CD 💿 and It Will Jam Your CD Player And It Becomes Almost Impossible To Get Out….Yet The Tray or The Tray You Have Accommodates For Both Small and Regular Size CD’s Now So What Who Gives a Flying Soggy F@%# …..Well Oddly Enough I Have a Promotional CD 💿 of Kieth Richards Talk is Cheap on The Small CD 💿 Format That Was a Virgin Records Promo It’s In a Small Metal Round Tin with a Skull 💀 All in Black and I Tried To play The CD 💿 on My Mac 🖥️ and It Got Stuck and Jammed Up I Had To Take My Mac 🖥️ To Mr. Apple 🍏 Store and They Were Able To E-Ject The Small Disc and They Said They Never Seen a Small CD 💿 Disc Before and to Not Put It Back In So I Was Told To Find a Older CD That Has a Tray and The Tray Will Have Both CD Discs Sizes and I Did So You’re Find is Outstanding Mate …..So Cheers 🍻 Too Your Big Ears…..

Congratulations it works

Use a nail file from your wife, lol;l

You've done well Harvey, every component in your little system was on it's way to the tip..Those case screws look like those pesky security Torx things with the pip in the centre... No more taking the p*ss out of VER you know damn well he knows best..lol

Now, they say the main reason for turning down the volume control on your Amp, is so that when you switch your Amp back on, so you do not shock the output transistors with a sudden burst of high power.

That's a keeper, Harvey, a great unit. Do a video of you opening it up. Seems like all this unit needs is a service to the CD player and a good clean-up in side. As Paul, of PS Audio states, if the caps are nearly 20 years old then think of changing them. If the caps are 25 years old, or older, then you must change them. Yep, and we all know not to argue against Paul, not with his 50+ years in the High End Audio design and build HiFi business, for Paul definitely knows a thing or "Three" lol.

After just watching the video myself it sounded like a relay click ?

Sorry about the noise on the recording, I was uses a silly iPad at the time, my fingers must have been rubbing on the microphone, lol.

I own one.They are really not very good sounding.Sort of dirty and hazy sounding.I guess that sort of sound has its place in cheap systems where you might want to mask the crappy sound of other components but in absolute terms it is not very good.
