Hi guys, found this forum when looking up on how to change the laser on my cd player.
I recently acquired it as it fits well with my other equipment but noticed that it skips quite badly. From sometimes jumping back a second on early tracks to looping 10-15 seconds on later tracks. I've ordered a replacement laser assembly but feel a bit insecure about how to proceed with it as I've never switched an assembly before. I've read both that it's a drop-in replacement with no need for calibration and that calibration is needed.
Anyone have any tips for me before I disassemble the unit? I do have the service manual.
