A while back I wrote on how to remove the cd tray from my AIWA NSX-V70
stereo.

It was suggested that I remove the lip from the front of the tray and then
slide the tray back into the stereo and lift out. Having finally had time
to look at this again, it's a no go.

Altho the lipcomes off just fine, you cannot slide the tray back into the
stereo any further than during normal operation. There are plastic stops
at the back of the slide which keep the tray from going in any furher.
And, of course, the mechanism into which the cd is lifted during playback
is in the way from lifting the tray out.

Any other suggestions? Do I have to take the whole thing apart just to ge
tthe tray out? What I am trying to get to is the motor/gears that actually
rotate the cd tray. Something is brokn in there such that the tray no
longer rotates. Instead, I get hear the motor turning and sometimes hear a
grinding. I can see a pulley hanging out the front of the player when the
tray is fully extended (presumably, this pulley is part of what allows the
tray to rotate). Hopefully, I can either get the pulley back on there,
replace a gear, glue some plastic back together, etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks, again!
