Mark,
Can you let me know where you got the unit repaired, not so much the exact business more the type of place because I think I may be struggling to find anyone suitable locally.
I really want to keep the Bose set up so the next question may be what can be fitted to replace the CCR2006 and retain Bose.
Run down of findings so far -
Took the unit to bits last night and removed the cd cartridge which seemed okay apart from one of the clips that keeps the unit closed when removed from the player having come adrift but once replaced it was okay. It looks as though the problem may lie with the mechanism in the player itself. With the unit on the bench the cartridge fits in no problem and you can manually operate the loading mechanism in all directions but whenever it is re-assembled and hooked up to power the cartridge is either extremely tight and only opens partially or it will not go in at all.
After tinkering for five hours last night I gave up and put the unit back in for the time being, flattened the battery being in and out the car so much and then had to jump start in a howling gale with pouring rain to make things that bit better (had to tie the bonnets down to stop them flipping over the windscreen) but I am now able to strip and re-assemble the cd changer and cartridge blindfold with one hand tied behind my back.
Thanks,
Steve
