Happy you got the old gal singing again! So, recap the PSU, swap out the loading belt, clean and re-lubricate, swap the M-holder. Adjust servo tracking and presto? 🎉

Not all is shown in this video. I tested it after replacing capacitors and it would spin up and then loose focus and stop. Cleaned the lens and it would play, but not perfect. Did a full calibration mechanical and electronical. All adjustment points where more or less off spec. Now it runs better than ever.

You should offer a repair service to laserdisc collectors'..!

The majority of laserdisc collectors pay hundreds of dollars on a movie without hesitation. But when it comes to fixing a player, they hesitate.

I'm going to try to fix a Sony LD player by replacing the laser pickup. Do you think it's possible to calibrate it manually, without a calibration disk?
@Magnus.SkovrandАй бұрын
@@WinrichNaujoks It is possible to adjust blindly and get it to play, but hitting 100% on spec is questionable. It also assumes that the fault was in the laser to begin with.

I have a Philips CDV400 where I changed the pickup optical and now it read the CD but only spins the laserdisc. I checked the voltage outputs by power supply and they are at the right level. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Did you calibrate after changing optical pickup?

I have the service manual and I tried to calibrate the focus gain and tracking gain, but I haven't the laserdisc test so I made it random
