Meridian 508.24 Service

I had one of those. Honestly, I wouldn't bother fixing it. Its just my opinion, but I think that there are alot of other players out there that sound much better. Either way, call Stereo Exchange in NYC (212-505-1111). They can fix it.

I still have a 508.24 and I think that it's still one of the best sounding players ever. Mine occasionally has trouble reading a CD until it worms up, but once warm it's fine. Most of the problems with these units involves (occasionally) repairing or (usually) replacing the crappy Pioneer CD drive, which is only available as used parts. I hope that you are not SOL with that.

Those players use a Philips drive.

Elberoth2,

You are correct, sir. I thought Philips but typed Pioneer. I guess I should stop replying late at night...
