Steel balls in the CD magazine

[Alpinewhite]

Hi All,

Today when I tried to load CDs in to the magazine three steel balls fell. I dont know where it came from! But the magazine seems to be intact.

I am afraid to fit the said magazine in the unit. What is happening? Looks like these magazines are quite expensive. The least I saw is $45.

Thanks

If it's the Pioneer mag, then those are the detents for the CD trays, it keep them from opening accidently

I've bought the Pioneer Magazines on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/PIONEER-6-CD-DISC-CHANGER-MAGAZINE-CARTRIDGE_W0QQitemZ250067278722QQihZ015QQcategoryZ 61325QQtcZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewIt em?hash=item250067278722#ebayphotohosting) for cheap.. $5.00 or so plus shipping.

Yes it is Pioneer. I think I forced it harder to open all of the trays. Will it be ok to use the magazines with out those balls?

I found a better price for the Panasonic magazines $13 at http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product_Id=13359&JRSource=GAW.datafeed.PIO+JDM300#productTabDetails

The above link shows a changer for a home CD player but I think it should also work for our cars
