Need some help please, please, on a Yamaha CD Player model cdc-60.

Just replaced the laser unit and it detects the CD and the spindle
motor starts up ok. Hit the play button and the unit plays okay for
about 15 minutes then starts to slow down, speed generally wanders
around and eventually stops and indicates there is no CD present.

Is this likely to be a motor problem? If not any hints? This unit is
not the best to try and work on as you can't get to anything while
the it is playing

Thanks for any help

Try electrically disconnecting the motor (cut trace maybe) and
running it, the motor in isolation, from a bench power supply to
see if its a bearing problem.
Only low voltage, 1 to 2volts at most usually

I did try running the motor from a low voltage and it ran okay but
maybe I should let it run for 30min or so and see what happens???

They had problems with shorted brushes on those motors...
