LD player questions

Got a Pioneer CLD-1070, which I want to adopt into my home theatre,
but it has TWO problems.

Drawer has a broken gear so it "clunk clunk clunks" and gets stuff all
the time.

Another is while it can play an LD movie with good picture (though
sometimes takes a long time to seek search), it will NOT play a music
CD.. It recognizes a music CD, but when I press PLAY, it seeks for
ages, and gives up.

Any ideas for repair/parts?

If you haven't done so, gently clean the lens using a cotton swab just damp
with pure isopropyl alcohol. That may be all it needs

As far as the gear, only source may be a junker of a model from the
same series. I don't know if Pioneer still has repair parts.

If you're really patient, you can make a replacement gear out of nylon
rod stock. Of course it helps tremendously if you have a lathe.
