Hi,

never come across this so thought i'd post and see what people think.

I just got hold of a Sony MHC1600 cd/radio unit. When in cd mode there
is a noise coming from within the unit. I took then unit apart and the
noise is the cd lens assembly vibrating. If you put your finger on the
lens and press (this has probably knackered it anyway) then you can
stop the vibration and noise.

Is the optical assembly the culprit or could it be something else . I
can get hold of another optical assembly easily enough which i'll do
anyway but anyone seen this before?

Kind Regards

Steve


Probably the pickup itself, but you just have to replace it to find out for
sure.
