The door to the CD will not open.

Crosley CR704: CD player broken solutions aren’t working

Thu, 03 Jun 2021 18:04:42 -0700

So I put the CD in and it thinks then displays the number of songs. Sometimes when I press play the light lights up but only after pressing it several times and pressing skip so the display says it’s on the first track. Then it thinks for a second and the disk sounds like it is turning and then the displays says “E” and I’m not sure what to do after that. I don’t think it could get dust in it so I don’t think that’s the problem.

Crosley CR 78CD: How can I get it to power on?

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 23:00:19 -0700

Barely used, but is a 2003 manufactured model. Can’t get it to power on at all. Never used turntable. Used cassette, cd, and radio with no prior issues. The cord is in good shape. Unplugged when not in use. What steps can I take myself to try and fix? Took the bottom cover off, but can’t see how to get further inside as appears to all be laminated wood and no other openings.

Crosley CR 78CD: How to slightly adjust the speed of the turntable?

Tue, 02 Jan 2024 23:02:50 -0700

My turntable is playing records just slightly too fast. Not so fast it's on the wrong setting, just enough to be disorienting when I listen to songs I know well. I get the impression most record players have a way to subtly adjust the speed.

Abbey Road deserves better from me. Can you help?
