you have to dissemble the unit, it’s not that easy to do. I have a mechanical background and didn’t hesitate taking the unit apart Mostly since it wasn’t working correctly). There are to gears attached to the shaft that raises and lowers the head. You might be able to check it by seeing if there is play in the pick up head. you shouldn’t be able to move it left or right very far. If you can the gear may be slipping.

Reinstalling software wont help. The gear that is used to lift and lower the arm may be some what loose. So when the arm rotates it allows the head to drop. I finally pulled mine unit apart and found this problem. I felt comfortable doing this but you have to be careful of not damaging prox switches.

The MPEG-2 Playpack component is purchased separetly from Quicktime pro. I have to go back and find the email with the downloadlink and my registration#. My Quicktime pro transfered over correctly.

I talked to Amtren 3 months ago about ordering a new pick arm. They were going to call me back with the price and I never heard from them and now I have left many messages. Disc Makers wants around 295.00 for a bench fee and an additional 150.00 for a box since I don’t have the original box that it came in. I am now just hunting for units to get parts from so I can keep mine going. Do you know of anyone wanting to sell their Amtren or Discmaker Flex Writer or Elite Series Duplicators?
Thanks,
