Attempting to fix an Audio Solutions CD jukebox. Basically a CD player
with an HD that you can rip CDs to. HD and CD look to be standard PC parts.

It the CD player drawer which is sticking. Won't open (from closed) on the
button or close fully if you open it manually. But does motor most of the
way to either. Cleaned it up and re-greased the bits which were greased
before, and the drive belt looks OK, but still the same.

The drive is a Lite-On LTN 529S, IDE.

I've got a couple of spare ancient CD drives that still work, but they are
longer than this one so won't fit. But the one I tried (a Packard Bell)
did work OK with it, so it may be near any CD-ROM would be OK.

The older drive is about 210mm long. The Lite-On about 180mm.

Looked on Ebay, and can find a new Lite-On in the US, but going to be too
expensive.

Anyone guess at an equivalent that is going to be cheaper? Is there an
easy way of identifying between the long and short drives in an Ebay ad by
description?

And use a new sata drive.
