I decided to take the cover off and have a look inside. Problem discovered. A tooth had broken off a plastic gear where it synchromeshed with another gear that was responsible for the tray opening and closing. Obviously,it had been dropped during shipping. It might be a simple fix, I hope. At least, it was properly insured. Thanks all for your help
Pioneer Stable Platter Repair
I just purchased a used Pioneer PD-S95 transport. It arrived D.O.A.from Fedex Ground. The tray is not opening. Instead a noise is emitting as if the gears are jumping on top of each other. Can anybody recommend a quick fix? Or can anyone recommend a qualified Pioneer service technician in Los Angeles. Thanks!
