• It's here =D Let's rip it apart

  Ok I happily received a giant package, it was about 1m by 50cm by 60cm and I was shocked whether I underestimated the size, but luckily the seller just meant it really good with the packaging.

  So here it is:

  And to get an idea about how exactly the loading mechanism works I fired it up, it works well here's a video:

  And as you might have guessed it can't stay together too long so I started with ripping everything out I won't need (I kept all the parts)
  
  

  Just leaving the bare case and the main part of the CD Changing mechanism.

  Tomorrow I'll modify the original CD sled to fit my BD Rom drive.

  See you again Babo

  OK actually I lied to myself =D

  I couldn't wait for it and started the main project with disassembling my existing BD Drive.

  More on that you can read in the instructions section.

• CD Changer bougth - Kick off

  To start of the project I surfed on ebay for literally weeks searching for a suitable CD Changer

  There are many out there which can be used, for me based in germany I had to wait quite a long time to find a cheap one, how it is in your country I can't tell, but getting a 200CD Sony CD Changer for 65€ (including shipping) was quite a good deal seeing them sold for about 150 + every day.

  I'm awaiting this piece on friday so this will be the next day you'll hear from be
