SONY MDS-JA555ES

MiniDisc Deck Recorder

The deck is in an excellent condition, however, it doesn't work at the moment.

It reads, plays and records discs without problem. All mechanical and electrical parts work, except for one. Couple of days ago, it stopped reading discs, when I tilted the player, it started reading discs without problems again. So, I took the deck apart and found out a cogwheel, that's responsible for moving the reading lens has broken off (see pictures). And since I don't want to deal with it, I'm letting the deck go.

To get to the cogwheel inside the mechanism, one switch had to be de-soldered, which I did, of course and left it de-soldered for anybody who wants to fix the deck (see the pictures). Also, I left the entire mechanism disconnected to minimize a strain on the cables (see the pictures).

Japanese version 100V.
