I've just upgraded the forum software to Xenforo 2.0. Please let me know if you have any problems with it. I'm still working on installing styles... coming soon.
While I am stuck at home, I did some work on this cd player today. This one is built like a tank. The face and top are machined from billet and very heavy. Got it up and going in a few hours.
I, too, use an Elite screen. Mine is a 106" manual pull down and has worked well for many years. They are $140 -$150 from Best Buy, Amazon and Office Depot.

Audio is a journey. It evolves over time. Here is my system that started out home stereo and turned into a home theater. The first picture is 2002. The last picture is 2020.
There is a motor and belt that runs the capstan. There is another motor and belt that rotates a cam gear that lifts the heads/pinch rollers transport. The cam gear grease was sticky and the belt was drying out. These didn't allow the head to engage, so no music. It took several hours to take the...
