I cleaned and lubed a functional cd changer. After I was done, the number 2 disc tray won't retract. I stopped being an authorized. Yamaha tech 2 years before this model was sold and I'm having difficulty understanding how the changer mechanism functions. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Chuck

Thanks Peter. I had already downloaded it. I was hoping there was a known flaw and fix that could speed up the repair since this is a freebie.

One project I have had on the theoretical bench a long time, is to replace some of the read electronics in a CD changer with some from a CD ROM drive.
Then I could pile my CDs into it, and have them rip'ed without having to constantly attend to the thing....
.... however, music streaming became a thing, and Spotify has already got my library online ...
**I don't know that, specific, model, but I am familiar with the type of mechanism. They are horrible to work on. I refused to take them in for service many years ago. Just not worth the effort. Carousel types are much easier.
