My waveguides came off easily. Don't remember any difficulties separating them from the driver. To the best of my knowledge, Rob does not included the waveguide as he told me to reuse the guides.

The Sony ES SCD-1 is also coveted by Audiophiles. Perhaps it is worth the effort to repair? Keep me posted on your decision. Have fun!

Happy Listening!

Thank You for suggesting Warren Gregoire for SCD-1 repairs.
This is a special spinner since introduction. It is pretty cool to read over the history of this player and all of the Modders that had a vision to improve upon digital playback.

Happy Listening!

Waveguides are attached with a 3M plastic adhesive and usually come off readily. I can't recommend any tricks. The rubber goo surround fix is good. The original goo was silicone.
