Thanks for pointing out the belt problem, turns out it was my problem also! The belt had dissolved (talk about planned obsolescence... well maybe it was incompetent engineering... bah who knows) and after carefully picking it out using tweezers and some tissue paper to collect the gunk I put in a small rubber band and it works like new. Biggest problem though was the nightmare of removing the side screws on the case. They are huge but have a tiny and seemingly extra shallow phillips cross. None of the 4 would budge and started to strip. I went online and found a brilliant trick that worked like magic: use a wide rubber band over the tip of the screwdriver. It gives you enough grip.
THANKYOU SO MUCH ! After 5 years in storage I excitedly rigged up my separates including my SL-MC410, nothing doing ....thought it was buggered ....stumbled upon your video and with a rubber washer we were back in the game ,delighted .....music is pumping here in the UK :)
Took a chance and grabbed one of these posted on local Craigslist. It didn't work as the belt was MELTED and there is a black goopey residue all in the gears now making it sticky and hard to turn. I'll need to pull the gears out and clean them with some kind of solvent then find an belt. They let me test it before taking it and since it didn't work they just gave it to me. Hope I can get it humming again! Thanks.
Welp, cleaned the goop off everything and found a small rubber band that worked. Seemed to operate well except for it apparently now has a blown left channel. I think I give up. Into the trash she goes.
Meijers? Are you in Michigan? Where'd you get the "Valley" accent? Informative vid. I'm popping the top off of mine. I have no use for a 3 CD changer (talk about Fred Flintstone - but that's all there is these days).
Joe Kaye Yep, I lived in Farmington Hills when I recorded this video (I probably went to the Meijer on 12 Mile and Telegraph in Southfield). I currently live in Detroit. I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life, maybe this is just my “I’m recording a video” accent. Thanks for your comment!
I thought maybe you were reading cue cards. fyi, I have a Hamtramck accent (NE Detroiter from way way back; no ""th" sound; it's replaced with "d" "dat dere, dis here"). People in TX think we're from Jersey, lol.

Thanks Alison for posting the answer to our problem. We hadn't used our CD player in decades. Now, thanks to you, it works.
Thanks! I had the same problem and this fixed it. I used an O-ring.
At 3:02 what's that sound
Any idea if I can load 3” mini CDs in this CD changer?
The manual says yes as long as you don't use an "extender ring", just the CD as is.
A thin oring worked great to fix mine
A marvel of technology, don't they make a new version??
Do you know if this unit will play "burned" CDs? Guessing not. Thanks.
N Ex I don't know. I dont have any burned audio cds to test

N Ex Have you tried by the headphones port as well?
N Ex Lol oops, I wasn't looking at mine when I posted that and I didn't realise it didn't have a headphones port. Ah well, :(
