    Default Sega CDX spindle motor replacement?

    It tries to spin the cd sluggishly and then fails, it does this in both game mode and walkman mode.
    I know it is a problem somewhere in the cd mech rather than the boards so capacitors aren't the problem.
    Edit: It is the motor, where can I get a replacement?
    Edit2: Never mind, fixed the motor. I'll be selling this spare system soon.

    Are you certain you're using a correct power source? They're unmistakable. Both CDX and its power supply, have direct mention of each other printed on them.

    Yes, I know that, I know the cd mech is at fault because I swapped it with the one in my working CDX. Surprise, surprise the problem moved too. Anyways I busted a connector on one of the wires so I need a few minutes to fix that.

    OK making sure. It's a popular topic around here.

    Actually I just figured out what is broken, the spindle motor isn't working properly.
