I recently managed to pick up an ex-demo/ex-service Teac VRDS-7 cd player off ebay, via the richer sounds shop, for a not unreasonable £164 including delivery. I've had it about 2 days and its starting playing up :(, now I do have a 3 month richer sounds warranty so I can get it repaired or get my money back, but I just wondered if anyone has encountered a similar problem with their player - I know there are a few people on here who own a Teac player, or have modded/serviced them. The reason I ask is because I'm not sure how good richer sounds would be at a long term fix, the VRDS players have a rather complicated mechanism, and given this is an ex-service item (I can tell as the screws on the lid are marked where they've been opened) that they've 'fixed' before, I do wonder whether it is fixable and wondered if anyone would be able to suggest where the problem lies - I know theres a lot of possibilities, but all I can do is ask! The problem is with the cd drawer, its stuck shut. Pressing the 'open' button results in the display saying 'open' and the little light to the right of the tray starts to flash, but the tray does not budge, just a slight whirring noise and then nothing, the draw doesn't even budge. Powering off and then back on has had no effect, the draw remains shut. Rather annoyed really :( since my marantz player is broken, and the TEAC is dead as well, and I've just had my DAC modded but now have no working cd transport other than the PC which isn't exactly ideal!
