[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Not another screenshot quiz...]

All right, this'un should be easy too:

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: My turbo grafx original cd player doesn't spin.]

can you show one more pic of the opened unit getting all of it in? I could open mine but since you got yours open already
And you say the gears are kinda like bolted down? can the gear area be removed? I wonder if the broken area can be  cut flat and another gear slid in and krazy glued over the stub.

Chop5,
here are three kinda lo-res pics of the inside of my TG-CD. I don't know if they'll be of any use to you, but I feel I was procrastinating long enough.

I do have one addition though: I tried to remove the broken gear from its shaft. It was being held in place with a small clip or ring (see last photo) that I tore off with pliers. Upon doing this I realized that the shaft had always been stationary, mounted in place, while the gear spun freely on it.

So, now I feel that a complete mechanical fix could be in place if I could:
-find a replacement gear,
-remove the little bit of remaining metal on the shaft (leftover part of the clip that I couldn't remove)
-install the new gear (and a new clip) onto the shaft.

It should be good as new if we can do this!

Hey Chop5! I got some photos for you, just moments ago.

In the picture below you can see three different gears (they're all reddish because of the grease...). The middle gear used to have a larger diameter gear on the same shaft that meshed with the bottom gear.

The second picture is the closest match to what the gear used to look like. I stole the image from some plastic gear company.
