    Default Yamaha GT-CD1 or GT-CD2 help please!

    Hi everyone

    You may/may not be aware of this top-loading CD player from the late-80s/early-90s. Very much a last gasp of Japanese major manufacturer high-end.

    These are somewhat unusual in that they use a "puck" sitting on top of the CD to stabilise it during play - a couple of pics attached found on one for sale on Hifido in Japan.

    I recently acquired a more or less mint GT-CD2 (with remote and box) despite knowing that it had lost its puck and naively thinking I would find one easily - ha!

    Fortunately I have an offer to make one from scratch and although some details can be divined from pictures taking the measurements from a real one would be v.v.v.v.helpful.

    So, wondering if any AOSer might happen to have one that they can take some snaps of against a tape measure so the CNC guy has something to work from?

    There are differences in sizes between the GT-CD1 and GT-CD2 pucks but ( I believe) they are interchangeable.

    Thanks all - and yes I know this is a long-shot!

    Robin

    p.s. Yes in case you were wondering I do have a request into Yamaha Europe in Germany but I am pretty sure this will have gone into the "far too difficult" box
