Check the connector on the pcb board which the flat/ribbon cable is connected, see whether the shape had deform? this china make connector & flat cable very loudsy... after several time pluck in and out they will have contact problem then u will have a lot proble like spin on reverse, lens up & down n so on...
even a very slight changes in the shape of the connector will cause u the problem...
i had the sam eproblem previously, after change several cd head alos can solve it totally finally find out is the connector problem, if case u can't get the connector just solder our from old cd lens mechanism if u have any?
besides i think if we modify the circuit and change the 2c51 tube in cd33 to 5687 the sound will be better.
