Why/How is the CR-210 that valuable? I don't get it.

My deck works and looks perfectly.

I may have to look at how some guys re-wired the CD changer pin to enable the AUX cable to work.

That said, my first order of business is to get the damn CD cartridge/magazine un-stuck from the Changer!!!

I have no idea how I'm going to manage that. From what I've read its a real PITS!!

I think that the CDR-210 is more of a classic/collectable for people restoring the air cooled cars.
One of my cars came with a CDR-210 boxed up in the frunk. It sold fast on eBay with a $379 buy it now.

I have a couple CD changers in storage, CDC-3 I think. One good, one maybe good. Let me know if you want one or parts of one.

So, I have the CD Changer completely disassembled. Its like a freaken WWII Bomb Sight!!! There are extra parts and springs and it starts to disassemble itself when you stop looking at it!!!

This thing is ridiculous. I still can't get the damn CD out, but I am learning how this thing works. I can at least get the motor to spin for a few seconds and I get two tries, the first at power up and the second try is when I press the eject botton. I cant seem to get the gear to engage. That said, I cant seem to release the cartridge either.

I can post some pictures just for fun.

I believe that is spot on.
