Hi J, Happy to help. The 1-ohm resistors are 1/4W (plain carbon film). The 0.22uF caps are ordinary, ceramic, 25V (or higher). Please let me know how it goes.

Hello Steve,

Apologies if you’ve moved on from the repair to this player, but I read your article with great interest and as I have a couple of CDP101’s that are exhibiting the servo problems, I thought I’d get some parts together and make up your solution. Could I ask what size resistors ( wattage) you used and what type of capacitors, are they ceramic or tantalum and what voltage?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Guy, I have sent you an email with a link to the Vintage Solid State forum at Audiokarma.org. I can only suggest that you post a question on AudioKarma forums, asking if anyone can refer you to someone who can restore your CDP-101. Please bear in mind that what is addressed in the article presented here might not address the specific problem you are having, so you need someone who can take on a general repair. Best Wishes.

Hi Brian, Thank you for the follow up. That's a very interesting post that you mentioned. I will be very interested to hear how it goes if you re-grease the slide. While I was doubtful of that fixing the problem, it certainly is a possibility. Could you post a link to the thread, here? I will post the results of my efforts on the CDP-101 here, as soon as I get a chance to work on the player.

Steve,

Sorry to hear your 101 has developed a problems and thank you for the good thoughts. The strange thing is that the first time I started the unit up after hibernation, it played a demanding CD perfectly. It won't do that now, however. I did see a post earlier today on another site. The writer was having the same problem I am experiencing and he said he re-greased the "laser slide." and that solved the problem. I'll take a look later and do some more cleaning. I'll let you know any result. I'd very much enjoy reading a post on the diagnostics on your 101. I hope the problem is easily solved.

All the Best,

Brian
