Symphony CD Changer Error 3

I've been having issues with my Symphony CD changer. Radio works fine, but I get the dreaded Error 3 when loading CDs. It has been repaired before a few years ago, a bit had broken off.

I am going to take it out at the weekend and give it a wobble, I read a previous thread with a link about this technique! But, if it doesn't work do I try to find a replacement Symphony or do I get something else? If I go for another Symphony any advice or suggestions on where? Or if a different make again any suggestions?

Thanks all.
 
I have a spare one at home (Symphony 2) that has had the front panel removed but they are easy to swap over, I have tested the CD changer and all 6 work and load/unload fine. Might need to find the CODE for it but again that’s not an issue eBay has them. Let me know if it’s any use to you.
Cheers.
Drew.

Thanks Drew. Yes, certainly interested. To be honest I haven't looked into compatibility, etc so not sure if this would be a case of one in, one out. How much would you be looking for?
 
I wouldn’t want anything for it at all. 🙂 I do use mine for some favourite albums. But I also have an FM transmitter that is Bluetooth enabled so can also play all my music through the stereo that way which is more modern. If it’s compatible (the same as the one in your car) it’s an easy swap to do. Would take less that 10 minutes.

Hi Drew. I'm in Farnham, Surrey. Although I am going to Maldon way next Wednesday if it helps to meet somewhere? Otherwise I'd be happy to pay for a courier.
