Reinstalling Sony 3 cd turntable tray alignment

[Me]

I have on the bench a Sony HCD-RX33 that is a 1998 production mini
bookshelf system with the 3 tray carousel at the top. After replacing
one of the clamper gears I can't seem to get it to do anything other
than spin the carousel. No matter what position I choose for the thing
it just spins round 4 or 5 times and gives up. I checked the shelves
for a manual and am in disbelief that it isn't there so I ask you for
help. I need the alignment instructions for the carousel tray. Any help
would certainly be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

As best as I recall, there is a mechanism underneath which either runs the
tray in / out, or accomplishes the clamping, by means of motor reversal.
In my experience, the metal plate / gear assy can have problems swinging
back and forth. If it hangs, it might cause your problem.
The parts I speak of are on the underneath side, on the right side as viewed
when the front of the unit was towards you. (did that make sense?)

for you.

Sony forbids me from distributing their manuals.
