Hi. I've just unearthed my vintage CD207 player from the loft, which is where it's been stored for years since it went faulty, preparing to chuck it out. To my surprise, it worked - for a few days, anyway. Now it is faulty again, so the problem seems to be intermittent - a dry joint maybe. The audio sounds fine. The problem seems to be with the motor drive. This revs up a couple of times when first switched on (its normal behaviour), but then runs continuously instead of stopping. If a disc is mounted first, it will spin out of control. I read an earlier post about a CD207 owner having problems with dry joints. Although I have a service manual for the player, and can wield a soldering iron, if I am looking for a dry joint I don't really know where to start looking, and could do with some guidance. Can anyone help me out, please?
