Finally, the clear plastic holder piece that supports and holds the drive gear in place.
This spare parts CDX unit is now functional again. I say spare parts because I took all of the best looking parts from my two CDX units to make the first, good CDX player I completed earlier in this thread. The remaining parts were all there for a functional second unit except for the broken gear that Jacques sent me.
However, this second unit does have a couple of issues.
Cosmetically, the little holder for the CD is scratched up. Mechanically, the eject side hinge of the CDX is not 100%. It is one that came broken and I had to repair. While the door opens and closes via the door motor okay, the door needs manual help on the eject side to actuate the mechanics that say the door is completely closed. I can press a little on the door (left side) and everything works. When I opened the CDX back up to study the problem, it appears related to the door hinge itself. I think it really needs a new hinge. But...the CDX is usable with this repaired hinge and will work fine in my shop where I intend to use it as a CD source.Another mechanical (electro-mechanical) problem with this CDX is the touch buttons. I originally had problems with this unit. I had to arrange some spacers on the function posts so the touch pads would operate on some of the functions. That takes repeated opening and closing back up of the CDX in order to get everything adjusted. Right now, all of the control buttons work except the Display selection and the Reverse (<<) button. I tried getting that adjusted but haven't had success yet. I'm not going to spend anymore time right now to get those two things working as I have to move on to my next projects and this CDX is already playable in my shop.Here is an old picture of the adjustment for the CDX touch buttons. I'm going to go listen to some CDs now.
My CD 3300 has the same problem. A broken gear. Can you link me to Jaques? May be has an other part like this.
Hi!
No I don’t sorry! I guess eBay is your best chance here.

I know a guy in the Czech Republic who prints them but you need to send him the old one over.

Hello everybody.
I have troubles with my CD X. I have read all topics here on the forum about CD X and its issues. I get my CD X many year ago as present in non-functional state. For many years I have been thinking the CDM fails. Last week I bought another CDM from eBay, change it and no change happen. Now I know it was pretty stupid move but it kicked me into fixing it.
I am not good in electronic but I do not want to resing.
Do you have any idea, what i can/should do next?
Thank you very much!

New gear pulley for the Beogram CDX, CDX2 and CD3300 is now in the webshop.
To me it came in perfect timing, because I have a CDX on the bench where the owner had fitted a 3D-printed gear bought off Ebay.Not only had a tooth broken off already, its rough and coarse surfaces managed to eat a new belt in just a little over two months, leaving nothing but rubber dust everywhere.Beoparts-shop has the real thing. Belt too.
Hello dillen will you make the other gear ? The big white one that s just after the one you are making? I need this one as mine is broken.

That's the first time I hear about this gear breaking, and there are no plans for reproducing it,but I'm sure I can find a good one in the dungeons.PM or email me.
