I'm going to be fixing this Pioneer CLD-1750 in a few weeks (my next spare time slot). Fault is it doesn't read discs. Laser moves, focuses, moves in, focuses again, then gives up. No spindle movement. Anyone have any ideas? I'm hoping it's not laser failure - but it glows red on camera.
I've tried cleaning the laser lens.

Also thanks to @renbymon for this very generous gift, and the stack of Laserdiscs!
@renbymon @philpem This reminds me that I need to address the unstable video output on mine. Alsmost certainly due to dry electrolytics.
