Anyone know?


I am sure some users here have one of these players.


Thanks

Jeff, Pioneer quit using them in the early 90's. I've had atleast one player, CLD-52, that had one. I think that only dual-side players had them. The first player I got in the 80's, the single-side LD-838D didn't use one. My first dual-side player was the CLD-52 and it of course does. So, the answer to your query is, not applicable. Best wishes!

I had several early players that had this transit screw--all Pioneers-- The 99 is based on the 704;as in my Theta Data3--all no transit screw.--However these are all high-risk--for shipping, items.Insure it; pack it extra careful;use DHL,pay the price and sleep well.If you use Fedex or UPS--expect a headache.(in exchange for saving ship charges) Geo

My elite 79, which is pretty much the same as the cld 704, did NOT have the transit screw. My old cld52 did.

My early first one in 1994, the CD playing model # PD-904 has a set that you use for moving or shipping.


I have never owned a LD player but presumably Pioneer had them for shipping or moving from one apartment or house to another.


I still have the Pioneer 100 disc rolling rack model, not the newer carousels they have today. I own 2 F-1007 300 CD jukes filled mostly with movie sound tracks.

is there any real way to avoid damaging these players? i had a cld-d701 that arrived broken (shipped from an ebay jerk WITHOUT a screw at all) and then the tracking guide proceeded to bust itself at random times, usually after a very ginger moving, even just from one spot in the room to the other. ugh. i need a new one now but i don't know if i should expect the same thing from any player. any advice?
