SONY SCD-1 CD/SACD Player

I have one of the above unit which has experienced a disc reading problem. The unit must be switched on and warm up for more than 30 minutes before it can read any disc (either CD or SACD. Please advise reason or comment if anyone has experienced same kind of problem for this model.
I wish that some one will provide the contact of any service or repairing center which can do upgrade and service for this model. Thanks.

I had a SCD-1 years ago, it started to have read errors. I think I talked to Richard Kern about cleaning the sled assembly. I did my own disassembly, cleaning with a lint free cloth and solvent (brake cleaner) and lubed the assembly with a light Teflon oil I got from Radio Shack called Needle-Tip Precision Lubricator, there are probably other brands out there (Super Lube). As mentioned before in this thread, over time the parts get sticky and can’t slide freely. I didn't do anything with the motor and DeOxit but that sounds like a good idea while you’re at it. I am not a stereo gear mechanic and I don't remember if I had a manual but got through it without any issues and my player ran fine after the clean and lube.

Good luck,
Mike
