Video Description

I was contacted by a channel viewer who wondered if I'd be up for the challenge of repairing his Revox B225 CD player, and of course I agreed. It had a problem with the loading tray and a flickering display and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. This unit is famed for being easy to service thanks to its modular design, but also suffers from bad electrolytic capacitors and this one was no exception. It also features the celebrated Philips CDM 1 swing arm pickup. Outro music: Calvary by TrackTribe
