Default CD Changer Issues

Is there a shop that repairs the changer?
Sometimes it will work for a week, sometimes only a few days, sometimes only one track will play and then it errors out. Sometimes the cartridge comes out easily, other times requires lots of pushing, shaking on the cartridge before the changer ejects it.
I have had it out and apart three times now over the last six months. I have applied grease to the gears and cleaned it out.
Wife really likes to listen to her CDs. I got here one of those cassette bluetooth adapters, but her MP3 player is difficult to use when driving...she really wants her CD player working.

ebay had quite a few changers listed, but of course no warranty that it works.

Any suggestions???

check the Coventry Foundations ebay site - they may have some NOS available

https://www.ebay.com/str/coventryfoundation [store #1]

Remember Coventry Foundation is a 501c3 and all income goes to support their mission, which you may find more about at their website www.coventryfoundation.org

How about another direction / question......
Does someone know what the interface connector type or style is for the CD changer? I would like to try to work on my CD changer, but I need the ability to power it up...hence the interface connector.
The configuration is not one I am used to.

Thanks

Unfortunately, their site states they’re no longer fixing the trunk changers.
