Well, Bobert my friend,You come to the right place.

My CD carousal has refused to play and eaten a CD. The play refusals were all on homemade CD copies. I could eventually convince the player to play it by using the remote and tell it which track to play and once it knows that it will scan the rest of the tracks.

Oh,but you don't even have he CD.

In order to ascertain the degree of difficulty of retrieving the CD,I went to my handy,dandy Time-Life Books "Complete FIX-IT YOURSELF" Manual. Now I know you have certain degree of mechanical aptitude as you are a Karmann-Ghia owner.

Which brings up somethig I've been wanting to talk to about.

I'm a Karmann-Ghia owner. Got two of em.Bought the '70 in running condition for$950 from Jim's Jalopies in Wallace,Idaho. # days later a friend says " I see you're driving a Ghia, got any spare parts?" When I said,"No." He said, "want some?" He then gave a '69 that had been setting in his front yard for 14 years.

Anyway, back to the now digested CD.

The book section on CD players only covered single-CD players. So I would have to say, Take it to a local eletronics repair,have the man who knows what he's doing take apart, while warrantying the player will operate in a like-new fashion and the CD itself will be unharmed.

2 weeks later you will hand the man $100, he will give Furry Lewis with a major scratch down the playing surface,and the player will never again work right. The tech will have also left town by the time you can get back to the store.

OR

You take it apart yourself,carefully removing the CD from the innards,( You can only blame yourself for the scratch), picking up the remaining pieces and throw the entire mess in the trash can.Then go to the local Wally'sWorld or Costco and buy new o with 10x the features for $100 Unless you give them to the mentally-ill 16 year old and he can put it all back together. In fact, he should probably do the whole operation.
