Yeah I remember those... had one as a kid planted on the combo console, the feet marks are still present to this day as I still own the combo.
So what little I do know is they were not the most friendly of beasts, as with any LD player I believe the spindle motor is servo ref that's derived from the disc itself, I remember ours going like a turbine with a bad disc it couldn't lock to. I seem to remember everything in these was built in little caged modules with no particular order, vintagemanuals.com has the service manual for the Magnavox CH8000CH03 at $27.00. I don't know the specifics on the revisions as ours was traded in for a Pioneer VP-1000 which survives today.
