I figured it would be a good Idea to let you guys know you can easily salvage good motors for your Mods from stuff people throw away.
I found a CD Player Carousel with a bunch of good motors and gears in it. The Laser Eye was burned up, I got the carousel going a little rubber band spins the carousel via a motor. So I couldn't repair it to play CDs, But I did end up getting the radio to work after disconnecting the carousel motors and Boards.
It was out by the garbage so I stopped and Snagged it up :D
Here is what I Salvaged from it.
Its 3 Working Motors and a Pulley Type system that was used to draw the CD's off the carousel and Into the player.

So before you throw any electronics away. . remember you may be able to salvage some good stuffs outta there!
