CD Player Problem - Help Please

[Richard Wrigley]

Greetings from Norolk (UK)

A colleague has a Philips CD 692/05B as part of a music system made by
Keytronics (a CD50 system). This is used to provide music for dancing
(Ballroom) and as such has variable speed for the playback.
Can anybody advise where I might get him a service manual for the CD player,
and if there is somebody competent to repair it in his area (Hertfordshire
UK), and if there is somewhere sares can be obtained from - the CD eject
switch has started to fail, not a total disaster, but very inconvenient.
By the way I have Emailed Philips with no response.
Many thanks

This request also sent to alt.audio.equipment - with slightly different
'Subject'

Hmmm.... Complicating it slightly by going after a service manual? Most
repairers will likely be experienced enough to locate the faulty switch
and fit a replacement without the manual...

Unless there is something else wrong with it?

What a surprise. Philips is the worst.

OP said the switch, but I'm thinking load belt.

The service manual is a 'nice to have' item, as provision for the future - a
good repairer would be immediately useful, but these people a a bit like
hens teeth!
