HELP... 2 yr. old pushed in the dust cover
The duct tape worked. Interestingly, given the stiffness of the driver material, it only worked when done with a quick (but tentative) yank. Pulling slowly just pulled the tape off. No visible adhesive residue. No apparent ill affects to my cheris... 
good CD player with variable output?
