I'm very frustrated trying to track down part numbers for a Pioneer CLD D704 laserdisc player.
Thanks to an earlier post I know what to purchase but Pioneer Australia seem unable to obtain the appropriate exploded view of the appropriate page (loading mechanism - drive motor). This is because this model LD player was never released in Australia.
Pioneer in the US do not accept emails.
Can anyone help by pointing me to a source please?
Thanks
John

John:
Try the parts list for the CLD-D770 which was sold in NZ/Asia and possibly Aus as well.
This was the 240V version of the 703, exactly the same player as the 704 minus the AC-3 RF output.

    Thanks to Michael's post Pioneer Australia are now on the right wavelength & are express posting me a manual.
    Where else but on an excellent site such as this would I have solved one of life's tormenting problems? Certainly not on the US Pioneer site where it appears people have been banned from speaking to customers. Being in backward Aussie land has advantages sometimes. The Aussie Pioneer site has real people there one can talk to!!! Problem is to have them knowing what one is talking about. Thanks to Michael that problem is solved & guess what? The parts are in stock. My faith in humanity is restored.
    Time to stop raving.
    Enjoy

      You're welcome John.
      Here's hoping you get your Theta up and running again.
      Now having bagged the Davis Cup, will you Aussies please stop winning everything and give someone else a chance ? At least you left Bathurst for us poor Kiwis :)

        Now come off it Michael. I cannot see you guys giving up the Admiral's Cup to us.
        Home of Plinius, what more could you ask for!!
        Seriously, my wife & I toured there for a month in February. A fabulous holiday. Reckon it ranks among the best in the world (& our home here in Tassie is pretty enough). Went to the Canadian Rockies in Sept - spectacular. But I still enjoyed our NZ holiday more. Better not say too much more or I'll have the Canadians upset.

        Admiral's Cup ?
        Why not ? We gave you guys the rugby, netball etc... you might as well get a full set.
        Speaking of Plinius, I'm only 10 minutes away from their factory :)
        And yes Tasmania is very beautiful, I was there about 2 years ago, have a Tasmanian for a brother in law, climate was just like home ! Don't know if thats :) or :(
        Best not offend the Canucks or they'll be shooting Brystons off in your direction...
        Couldn't find any decent hi-fi shops in Hobart though, are there any in Tas ?

        Hi Michael
        The "home theatre disease" is all pervading and there are NO audio shops worth visiting here in Tasmania. We had a branch of ENCEL in the North of the state but it closed down and had the HTD anyway.
        Sad, but all that is really left is Melbourne & Sydney + the internet, the place where I'm making most purchases & thus relying heavily on reviews and posts at Asylum etc.
        I figure this is a world wide trend. Is it any better around N. Palmerston (Plinius factory excepted!!!)?
        John
        PS: Pioneer have sent me (gratis - how is that for service) the service manual of the CLD-D703 so I'm like the proverbial P.. in sh.. Will fax off an order today. I've located a competent techo to do the work for me. Thanks again for your help - I was given the wrong info before your assistance.
        
        HTD in NZ as well :( michael w 05:07:52 12/09/99 (0)

        Glad to have been able to assist, sounds like you are getting good service from Pioneer, a rarity !
        Well Pliniustown used to have one really good hi-fi shop, Manawatu TV and Sound Service Limited. At it's peak in the mid-80's it was probably one of the leading shops in NZ.
        A few years ago it got inundated with all manner of electrical goods such as computers, washers and other home appliances. Even it's sole listening room disappeared.
        Recently they opened three new listening rooms and got rid of most of the non hi-fi stuff but HTD has taken firm hold. TV's, videos and those obnoxious video games abound.
        About a year ago a new place opened, Image Audio, but from day one they were heavily HT based, with 2 listening rooms, one deducated to music only. Boring product though and staff who know zip about music and music gear.
        Interestingly both these shops are Plinius dealers...
        The rest of the country is no better. All stricken with HTD. And staff that know zilch.
