broken 500cd changer

[nadams]

Looking for a large carousel-style changer, does not have to work, but must have all parts.

I've never see a 500 cd player....although I know Sony makes a 400....I have two of those. What are you looking to do with a broken one? Btw, I've soon those on ebay for cheap.

well, maybe not a 500, but it needs to be a decent sized cd changer.

my brother wants one or more to tear down and make into a computer-controlled DVD storage device, using a stepper motor for the carousel, and a simple interface circuit for the computer to plug into

Interesting idea. There are usually 200-300 unit ones that go real cheap on craigslist. These are older ones. Rather than do extensive mods on one, I would focus on replicating the remote codes and just program a computer to issue the right codes. Avoids a lot of headache.
