AR CD-04 CD player display
 

Hello all,

A customer has an AR CD-04 with a bad display. This is a 4 digit green
LED display on a small board that mounts to the front panel board.

While the machine is a Philips/Magnavox based player, I do not know
what an equivalent model that might share the same display is.

Since I'd guess that many of these have been scrapped because of a
defective CDM-2 mechanism, I'm hoping someone has saved a chassis that
might have a good display or display board that they would be willing to
sell me.

Gentlemen, please check you junk rooms!

Maybe just replace the LED Display?

Been there, done that, although not necessarily with the same color.

Not possible to change the display to something else. This is a welded
construction type with a 'blob chip' on the back of the board that
interfaced to the microprocessor. Must be original type.

Thanks for the thought,

I believe the Philips CD160, CD460, CD560, Magnavox CDB460, CDB560 and
Sylvania CD1650 have this display. There are a few on eBay but they're
not cheap!

There is a design for a DIY retrofit which may or may not be suitable:
