HISTORY:
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything that can be reused or repurposed creates Ee savings and reduces the poisoning our our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

This is what the V101 looked like
If you have taken on the task of restoring an older JVC CD player, you will know how difficult these AC power transformers and ON-OFF switch are to find. Most likely culprit for failure is the mechanical switch but I have come across failed (open circuit windings) transformers from time to time. This small module could "save the day" for your V101. Actually this module MAY suit other models but you will need to establish this. I do know that detailed schematics (with test voltages) are hard to come by so best of luck on this.
I recently have had the JVC XL-V101 on the "operating table" but she could not be saved! Not the end of the world but it is always nice to bring an oldie back to life!
I have now removed selected working parts for others to reuse in their own V101's - this advertisement is for the complete AC power input transformer and the power switch.
The front panel button with the LONG finger is not included with this transformer ... why (I hear you asking) because the transformer is much heavier than the button/finger assembly and as many of my clients are overseas, to force an international buyer to purchase both the transformer AND button/finger would added considerably to the shipping costs. Much better to split the two ...
If this spare part for the JVC Compact Disc Player, model XL-V101 doesn't interest you then perhaps take a look HERE to see what other spare parts I have for this model
JVC - Compact Disc Player
SPARE PART ONLY
Extracted from Model: XL-V101
Circa 1993!
COMPONENT: AC input power transformer with Push ON Push OFF mechanical switch assembly (and spark suppressor next to it)
PCB PART #: ENN-173-E (PCB identification)
Transformer: ETP1010-43EA M 8950
This transformer was used with 240V operation. I do notice an additional pin on the primary and although I have not checked this out, it is "possible" that the primary is centre tapped which means it MAY be useable on 115V AC supply. There are no markings on the board to help you out with this, just a number of component part numbers.
AC output from the transport goes to the main board via a 6 way semi-rigid ribbon cable. This fits into a special socket used commonly by the Japanese during this period. The connector work like this ... it can be seen that they "clamp" together holding the ribbon cable wires in the process BUT do not try to lift the top section of the connector upwards to release the ribbon cable - it will not work and you risk destroying the connector! It is actually easy to remove the cable (but not so intuitive) - PUSH DOWN on each end at the same time and while this downward pressure is applied, lift 'up and out' the ribbon cable - it will release easily! You really need three hands but a "widely spread" pair of small pliers can help. Use the pliers to apply the light downwards pressure evenly to the connector top section (at each end) and use your other hand to lift up the ribbon cable out of the connector spring contacts. Bingo! you have freed the ribbon cable - insertion is the reverse process.
I even kept the two mounting screws and they will be supplied along with this module.
TESTING:
Immediately prior to removal, the major sections of the CD player were working fine but after removal I have tested the transformer in particular.
The secondary has two windings, isolated from each other.
One winding provides a measured output of 4.5V AC under load
The second winding has two winding taps and the measured outputs (again under load) were 26.5V, 16V & 8V
The mechanical push ON push OFF power switch operates smoothly and without any problems
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
NO damage to the PCB or mountings
The interconnect ribbon cable (6 way) is undamaged and the bare wires for insertion into the main board socket are "ready to go" i.e not shortened or altered in any way.
I have packed this PCB onto a stiff cardboard base (for support) and then within a clear sealed packaging and it now sits patiently awaiting another JVC Compact Disc Player to live in.
