Thank you very much guys for your imput, cool. Base on all your writing I conclude that my hunting process is on the right direction. But in my case, they had a LOT to do, but they brought this vintage best-of-class player up to snuff and head and shoulders above later discman players:

And finally Mullards. I know them, used to have ECC35 CV569 tall glass, so these are in the same sonic category, isnt? However, because of the short glass, they may have some other constuction, which can have some influence on the sound, dont know... This means the remnants of these storms can sweep the UK bringing spells of heavy rain and gale force winds. They are former Sony repairmen and have all the oscilloscopes, test CDs, and procedures that you would expect from the best manufacturer repair facility. From some research I found out is that Gold Brand and JAN Sylvania's are actually the same quality, but if I look at the pictures, I do see some differences, so the question is, how are they in sonics

There’s a possibility of some more settled weather briefly at the end of next week with temperatures reaching the low 20s, although the mid 20s may be possible in Moray if the wind direction is right. And yes, short glass is because of EAR, can not close it with tall one. Well, can use it while its still open, but to risky... While there’s no signal from our current computer models for prolonged hot and settled spells to return in August, it does look like it may warm up next week.

More impressively, they provided me with 12 (TWELVE) videos, starting from one that documented the initial state of the CD player (lit up and spun the disc, but nothing else, and recorded the scratches on the cover.) They also showed the oscilloscope videos showing the "eye" patterns of proper operation, as well as deliberate scratches on their test CD and the ability of the CD player to recover the information anyway. They also compared measured and specified laser drive current, which in my case was OK. Scotland has remained north of the jet stream in July, which has acted as the boundary between the heatwave conditions in the Mediterranean and the cooler more showery weather over us.

Stay Up To Date

We’re only at the start of August, so there’s still plenty of time for warm and sunny conditions – sometimes September and October can throw us a summery lifeline. They provided a detailed list of what they had done, the time required, and what parts they replaced.

Replaced the motor and CD spindle, which had a bad bearing so that though it worked, it made a scraping noise (and was subject to future failure); I expect any settling down next week to be short-lived with a return to more changeable conditions likely. July has been a real disappointment for most of the country – cooler than usual, wetter than average, and not as sunny. There are a few exceptions such as Shetland, Orkney and Fife which had a little more sun than usual.The other 11 videos stepped through each step of their diagnosis and repair, including the false lead of removing the RF shield that is the surface immediately below the spinning CD, as a source of the scraping sound before they diagnosed the bad spindle motor and bearing. We’ve seen some unseasonably deep lows cross the country in the last few weeks, and I’d expect this to remain the case in the coming weeks from time to time. We’re also getting to the point of the year where weakening hurricanes in the Atlantic can get steered towards the UK.
