Well, guess I voided *that* warranty! :D
This one looks about the right size – a tiny bit smaller, but that’s prolly exactly right, accounting for the stretched condition of the old belt.
OK, let’s power it up and make sure it works!
Currently in the earholes:
I miss those early PC CD drives with the CD player functions. Many a times I put them into service as standalone CD players for various purposes. Coolest I ever had was a SCSI CD changer that was still half height, but held something like 7 (if memory serves) disks at once. Being an early adopter of MP3 back when PCs only had enough horsepower to decode 128-160K and little else, filled with MP3 CDs it was my own jukebox for quite awhile. I agree with you on the repairability too, the older drives are always easier to put back to working order usually when a problem arises. -Mitchell F.
Oh and as they say, don’t look into laser with remaining eye. :)
Oh, was that the Teac CD-C68E 6-cd one? I think I saw that on Cathode Ray Dude… oh wait, I just looked it up and his was the Nakamichi MJ-5.16 5-CD one.

Heh, I still need to dig up an internal 50-pin SCSI cable at some point. My Zip drive is SCSI and I can’t put that in without one. (:
Love me some Hainbach! Also, replacing belts in consumer products brings back lotsa memories of when I was a TV repairman, back in the ‘80s!
Heh, still waiting for you to do a video on fixing up an old VCR! :D
That Hainbach setup makes me all giddy. Having recently acquired some new gear for sound-making, I’ve had thoughts of doing some top-down videos of knob-tweaking. Nothing fancy like LIGHT sensors, as in the video you shared, but with my mostly low-budget gear, I’ve been coming up with some interesting sounds. I’m sure I’ll be sharing something soon.
Can’t wait to hear/see it! :D
The way I understand it, those Deerhorns are basically multi-tonal, multi-antenna theremins, which can individually use inputs like tape loops as voices. So radio waves, rather than light sensors, I think.
