I bought a 2nd hand CD Xt transport from the classified on here a few years ago.
I have been reasonably happy with it up until a month or so ago when it has started having problems loading and ejecting the CDs.
If they do load, they generally play OK.
It is not one of the models supported for full Cyrus service (which would cost £300 in any case!) but according to the supported models list on link here it might be possible to repair.

Should I send it back to Cyrus for a possible repair or cut my losses and get something else?
Or maybe even attempt a home repair?
I am pretty comfortable pulling things apart and putting them together but can not solder to any sort of reasonable standard.
I have an excellent external DAC that i am happy with so only looking for a good replacement transport.
If anyone has had experience of Cyrus servicing and repairs or indeed DIY repairs on these units, I would love to hear how you got on.
I have lusted for an AudioNote transport for years but can't afford one!
Thoughts?
